Buffalograss grows best in an area receiving morning sun and 6-8 hours of sunlight throughout each day. It is not recommended to plant buffalograss in poorly drained areas or sandy soils. For non-irrigated sites, planting is recommended in the spring once soil temperatures reach 55 degrees F. An optimum seeding rate is 1.5 to 2 pounds of buffalograss burrs (1 to 5 seeds in a burr) per 1,000 square feet.
Buffalograss is dioecious, which means there are male and female plants. In seeded areas, you can see the inflorescences (male flowers) on male plants emerge several inches tall. The female plant produces a flower close to the soil and is not as noticeable. Ultimately, several seeds are produced within the female burr. There are vegetative buffalograss cultivars that can be purchased which are most typically plugged for establishment. They are generally the female plants (no visible seedheads during the growing season).
