    Bison is an attractive and environmentally sensitive lawn grass, requiring less fertilizing, watering, and mowing than other turfgrass. Bison can maintain its turf with only 1 to 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. per season. Mowing frequency can be reduced to once or twice, in some cases, not at all, depending on the height of the lawn desired. Bison will generally require half the water other turf grasses use once established.

    Bison is a new seeded cultivar of buffalograss, a native to the North American Great Plains. This perennial, warm season, sod-forming species is well adapted to dry climates and is very winter hardy.

Planting Preparation:

    Seed 1-3 lbs. per 1000 square feet in a firm seed bed. Plant seeds 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep when soil temps are consistently above 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep soil moist to ensure germination and seeding establishment.  Plants will emerge in 14-21 days and become established in 60-90 days.
