It has both rhizomes and stolons and seperate male and female plants. The male plant has flag-like seedheads rising above the leaves, while the female plant has seeds in a bur-like cluster in the leaves. Buffalograss is drought resistant and flowers from April to December under favorable conditions. It is of fair economic value for wildlife and good for livestock. |
