SUMMARY

Texoka Buffalograss is an older variety of buffalograss that produces excellent forage grass for pastures. While it does not have the turf density or darker color of newer varieties, Texoka is still an excellent, low maintenance option for lawns, roadsides, erosion control, and conservation and environmental reclamation.

SOD FORMING

The only native shortgrass that spreads to form continuous cover.

EXTREME DROUGHT TOLERANCE

Persists on rainfall in the driest range country.

LOW GROWING

Naturally short — minimal or no mowing required.

GRAZING RESISTANT

Low growth point tolerates close, continuous grazing.

RECLAMATION USE

Establishes and holds thin, disturbed soils.

LOW INPUT TURF

Native lawn option requiring a fraction of conventional inputs.

FULL SUN

Requires open sun — not suited to shaded sites.
