| Buffalograss Planted summer of 2013 |
Our buffalograss has grown very well the past two years. We have not mowed it yet this year. This photo was taken in the same place as the last photo from September 19, 2013. (See post from Sept. 19, 2013 below)

We planted our buffalograss 18 inches apart on our level ground. It fills in nicely in one season. The grass in the foreground was planted about 2 months ago and has almost filled in completely.

After a very wet spring, we have watered our established buffalograss only 3 times. It has turned brown on top, but is green underneath.

Legacy Buffalograss is prostrate. Instead of growing upright, it creeps along the ground. Our established buffalograss planted in 2013 and 2014 has long stolons that have grown since this spring to 18 to 20 inches in length. It is growing in mounds and is about 6 inches deep. It has not been mowed this year. It was mowed very short last fall after it became dormant. It should be mowed in the fall so in the spring, the sun can warm the soil and dormant roots. This helps it to break dormancy and begin growing earlier.
