- Buffalo Grass, OK native Buchloe dactyloides
Family: Poaceae Tribe:Chlorideae
Sunshine Nursery
Longevity: Perennial Season: Warm Origin: Native Height: 5 - 25 cm Flowers: April - Dec Is a dominant grass of the shortgrass prairie west of our area and is commonly found on overgrazed uplands in our region. It has both stolons and rhizomes and the male and female flowers are produced on separate plants. I am thinking we could use the buffalo grass and other OK native grasses as the coir of our coiling.
