description Prestige Buffalograss Overview
Prestige is a vegetatively propagated buffalograss cultivar, botanically classified as Bouteloua dactyloides, released through the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It was developed for low-input turf in the Great Plains and other regions suited to warm-season, drought-tolerant native grass. The cultivar forms a fine-textured, dense lawn with relatively modest water and fertilizer requirements, but it becomes dormant and loses green color during cold weather.
help Prestige Buffalograss FAQ
Do I need to mow Prestige Buffalograss frequently?
