Legacy® Buffalograss
Legacy® Buffalograss, a second generation turf-type seedless variety, developed by the University of Nebraska, came to market in 2000. Legacy’s soft, narrow blade made the turf an ideal choice for lawn activities. This warm season grass, has a blue-green color, and is extremely drought tolerant only needing 0.3″ of water per week as a mature plant. Cold hardy to zone 2, Legacy® is the most widely adapted of all our buffalograss cultivars. It only grows 3″-5″ tall, so you will not need to mow more than once a month unless you prefer a more manicured looked.

Most shipping is done on Mondays and Tuesdays to try to prevent plugs from sitting in a warehouse or on a truck over the weekend. Since we ship from the middle of the US, we are able to reach both coasts by Friday.
