Buchloe dactyloides, 609 buffalograss is a native blue-green, dense, fine-textured, stoloniferous turf. Compared to Prairie, 609 is more dense and has a richer, deep blue-green color, and ranks as a top turf-type buffalograss in the market for high-end users. Because of its slower growth rate and drought tolerance, buffalograss requires less water than other turfgrasses. 609 is recommended in rainfall areas of 30 inches or less.
