Developed by University of Nebraska agronomists, 'Legacy®' was selected to duplicate the lush green look of traditional bluegrass turf while retaining the outstanding hardiness and drought-resistant (xeric) character that is expected from buffalo grass. \u003cstrong\u003eGreen Thumb Award Winner 2001\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6\" tall.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePropagated from cuttings, this essentially pollen-free buffalo grass is exceptionally robust, spreading quickly with vigorous runners to form a dense, inviting, deep green lawn that withstands heavy foot traffic, pests and diseases. \n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuffalo grass grows easily in a wide range of soil types and actually prefers heavy clay. It requires minimal mowing, little or no fertilization (depending on soil type) and forms a tight, highly weed-resistant ground cover. This is a warm season grower best adapted to low rainfall regions that receive 10\" to 30\" of annual precipitation at elevations below 6,500 to 7000 ft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis grass typically uses 45-75% less water than Kentucky bluegrass, needing only 2\" of water per month to stay during the heat of summer! While all buffalo grass turns a soft beige color when dormant in late fall through mid-spring, 'Legacy®' was developed to up earlier in the spring and hold its  color longer into the fall than any other variety. 'Legacy®' is a very quick grower. Using our jumbo plugs you can expect to cover an area planted on 12\" x 12\" centers in about 3 months, or in only 2 months when planted on 6\" x 6\" centers (depending on your growing conditions). You can plant our plugs beginning in late spring right through the summer and into the early fall. Plugging a buffalo grass lawn will save up to two-thirds of the cost of buffalo grass sod. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemember that buffalo grass is not suited to the following conditions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- More than a half day of shade \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Very sandy soils (Grama Grass is better)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Elevations greater than 6,500 to 7,000 ft. with short, cool summers.
