Product Information


Buffalograss adapts best to full sun, but acceptable turf can be grown with 6 to 8 hours per day of direct sunlight. It is one of the most heat and drought tolerant of turfgrass species. Buffalograss has better cold tolerance than other warm-season turfgrasses, but the degree of cold tolerance varies among cultivars. Buffalograss does not germinate as a dense stand like tall fescue. One seedling per square foot is adequate because buffalograss becomes progressively thicker each year as the stolons spread.

All of our Buffalograss has been 'primed' to ensure faster and more uniform germination and establishment. This process breaks the natural dormancy of the seed and ensures that the seed starts growing more quickly when planted.

Buffalograss may be seeded or it may be vegetatively established using either sod or plugs or both, depending on the cultivar. Seeded cultivars will have both male and female flowers, while sodded types are predominantly female.The best time to plant is late spring or early summer, although sod and plugs may be planted as late as August or early September.

Buffalograss is a warm-season grass that spreads by above ground stems called stolons. Reproduction is dioecious -- female and male flowers are located on separate plants. Seed heads on male plants are located high in the turf grass canopy, while female seed heads are found near the base of the plant.

Avoid frequent irrigation, and water only as needed to maintain desired quality. For chemical weed control, use only products labeled for buffalograss. Avoid over-fertilization with nitrogen. Do not use 2,4-D on buffalograss during the first year of establishment or when temperature exceeds 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Fall applications are preferred for control of broadleaf weeds in buffalograss.

Seeding
Buffalograss seed burs should be planted at a rate of 1 to 3 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Seeding at the higher recommended rate should provide complete lawn coverage in one season. Seed burrs should be planted at a depth of 1/16 inch or less. Grooves can be made in the soil to receive seed using a verticutting machine or with a slicer-seeder machine that opens grooves in the soil and then deposits seed during one operation. It is important to use burrs that have been primed for germination by soaking in potassium nitrate to weaken the coat. Burrs may also be broadcast on the prepared seedbed using a box (drop) fertilizer spreader. Hulled, deburred seed is sometimes available but is much more expensive than burrs. Gently rake broadcasted burrs into the soil surface and then roll to ensure good burr-to-soil contact.

Lightly water the seedbed daily when there is no rain. As seedlings emerge and develop, irrigate less frequently but often enough to prevent drought stress. Mow seedlings at a height of 2 to 3 inches when the new seedlings have reached a height of 3 inches. Try to remove no more than one-third of the vertical growth at each mowing. About six weeks after seeding, apply a slow release nitrogen fertilizer at a rate of 1 pound nitrogen per 1,000 square feet.

Best Blades hands down!
Size: 26" and 16", Style: Pack of 2, Size: 26" and 16", Style: Pack of 2
I purchased the Rain-X WeatherBeater 26” and 16” windshield wiper blade set to replace the factory blades on my vehicle, and installation was straightforward. The included adapters made it easy to get a secure fit, and I had both blades installed in just a few minutes. After several weeks of use, they’ve performed well in both light rain and heavier downpours. The blades make consistent contact across the windshield, leaving very few streaks and improving visibility significantly compared to my old worn-out wipers. They are also relatively quiet, with no noticeable chattering or skipping. One thing I appreciate is the value for the price. While these may not have all the features of premium beam-style blades, they provide reliable performance at a much more affordable cost. Durability remains to be seen over the long term, but so far they have held up well through changing weather conditions. Overall, if you’re looking for a dependable replacement wiper blade set that installs easily and performs as expected, the Rain-X WeatherBeater blades are a solid choice. I’d purchase them again.

Good, reliable wipers.
Size: 24", Style: Pack of 1
I replace my wipers annually, so I don't need to spend a bunch of money on the countless gimmicky wipers that are out there. You used to be able to find Rain-X wipers just about anywhere, but the marketing morons pushing the gimmicky crap have pushed these out of stores. I am please to have found them on Amazon. I am also pleased to find that they are on Subscribe & Save. Most of my vehicles use the same size wipers, so I can buy these throughout the year and replace them when they show up instead of trying to remember when their year is up. I have always liked the performance out of Rain-X wipers. I think they last all year, remaining flexible the whole time and stay silent. That flexibility make them very effective at wiping the windshield. The cost for the wipers was great when they were around $6, but the greedy corporations keep raising prices, so now it much more. I think the value is still there, but the design has not changed. Still good, reliable quality. The size is accurate. The installation is easy. There's instructions if you need them that are easy to follow.

Yes good choice
Size: 22", Style: Pack of 2
Perfect fit and they work great! It's been over a month using these and I would consider purchasing again. The wiper blades on previously looked a little bit more sharp but these outperform them by a long shot.

Rain Wipes
Size: 24" and 19", Style: Pack of 2
Nearly does the trick, where there's a better model option. Wished I had purchase the higher grade model, for this model doesn't wipe as well during moderate and heavy rain. However, for the price I got what I paid for, with my history of this brand, knowing it will have a bit of useable life. It was a fit...Actual replacement. Easy to install. Smooth wipe, for there's no squecking.
