Detailed Review

This Buffalo Grass is now sold quite cheaply, as the growers are finding demand for it drying up. It has terrible winter colour and thatches really badly. It does have moderate to good shade tolerance but you would only buy this grass if you wanted a real cheap grass. Many growers are now ripping it out. Its horrible purple colour in winter is a real turn off. The grass browns off badly with even a hint of cold weather, and in Humid areas like Queensland it becomes a thick sponge. If you don't care about looks and want a cheap grass then this one is for you.
