Summary
Developed by the Native Turf Group in cooperation with the University of Nebraska, Cody Buffalograss has established itself as a premier warm-season turfgrass. Faster establishment, higher density, lower growth rate, excellent winter hardiness, low water requirement, darker color, fine texture and a wide area of adaptation give Cody the edge as the choice for low maintenance areas.
