A friend of mine tipped me off about buffalo grass. Wanna know why it is best for your garden? Here are some reasons why you should go buffalo.

Why Buffalo Grass is the Best for Your Garden

Low-maintenance: Because buffalo grass don't grow very high, it also seldom gets grass fungus. It requires little mowing and fertilizing and can survive a drought. Over-managing actually does more harm than good.

Remains green during winter Although primarily a warm season plant, the buffalo grass will survive winters even when seldom irrigated.

Weed-resistant

Environment-friendly: Because it needs very little water, buffalo is a very environment-friendly type of grass since it conserves water.

Child-friendly: Buffalo grass is disease and insect resistant, so it's perfect for families with small kids. Plus, the grass is very soft so you can sit out on it on those warm summer days!

Warning: If you choose buffalo, you'll want to sit out on the grass all the time!
