Buffalo Grass (Buchloe dactyloides ‘Texoka’) is a hardy, warm-season native prairie grass known for its exceptional drought tolerance and low-maintenance growth. Originally found across the Great Plains of North America, Buffalo Grass thrives in hot, dry conditions where traditional turf grasses struggle. The ‘Texoka’ variety is prized for producing a thicker, greener lawn with improved turf quality while still maintaining the natural resilience of native buffalo grass.
This fine-textured grass forms a dense, soft turf that requires very little water, fertilizer, or mowing once established. Because it grows close to the ground and spreads naturally, Buffalo Grass is ideal for eco-friendly lawns, xeriscaping, and natural prairie landscapes. It performs best in full sun and well-drained soils, making it a great choice for homeowners looking to reduce lawn maintenance and water use.
Buffalo Grass ‘Texoka’ grows to about 4–8 inches tall and develops a rich green color during the growing season before turning a warm tan in winter dormancy. Its deep root system helps it withstand drought and heat while improving soil health over time.
