Summary

Sundancer Buffalograss is the most advanced turf type of Buffalograss available in the industry today. Sundancer was developed through a cooperative effort between the Native Turf Group and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Sundancer responds to the demand for warm season turf with superior turf qualities and performance from seed. Sundancer is widely adapted to diverse environments with turf quality a step above the rest. When compared to existing commercially available seeded varieties at test sites in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Utah, Virginia and Washington, Sundancer excelled in all categories.
