Buffalo Lawn Seed Blend
Suited to both warmer and tempetare climates of Australia, McKays Buffalo grass is ideally adapted to warmer areas of Australia areas that receive 400 – 900 mm of rainfall. It is recommended for the use in playgrounds and parks, golf course roughs, as well as residential lawns. Under the right conditions, the seed will take 4 weeks until germination, and will require 6-8 hours of full sunlight. It is possible to establish Buffalo in the cooler climates like Victoria, however, make sure you plant around October/November, when the weather is over 25 degrees.

Can you grow buffalo grass from seed?
YES YOU CAN GROW BUFFALO GRASS FROM SEED.
Our buffalo seed is an excellent choice for anyone looking to create a lush patch of buffalo heaven. And we have 100’s of happy customers to prove it!
Don’t be fooled by the big budget marketing ploys of the turf farmers who say it can’t be done.
Why pay more?Â
You can have a thriving buffalo lawn in a matter of weeks for a fraction of the cost.
McKays Buffalo Grass Seed Blend
McKays Buffalo Grass Seed Blend is an excellent summer active lawn with good shade, drought and frost tolerance. It is a great affordable option for establishing a magnificent buffalo lawn from scratch. Being a running variety, buffalo is also highly durable as any wear and tear will ‘self-repair’. Compared to laying turf it makes great sense too. In order to establish a 100m2 lawn using turf would cost between $800-1200 vs. less than $142 with seed. With all the money saved you can buy a new set of swings, or an outdoor setting from which you can admire your new lawn. There’s also no back breaking work to be done carrying OVER a TON of turf up the driveway. Simply prepare your soil, and then sow. McKays Buffalo Grass Seed Blend is one of the only Buffalo varieties available as Seed, and our blend contains a very high 50% Buffalo content to ensure a high quality buffalo lawn.

GOING WELL Grew 10cms from seed in four weeks in Melbourne planting in late March so ordering more. I might have gotten lucky with late warmth and rainfall but very happy regardless.

IF ONLY IT CAME WITH A RAIN MAKING FACILITY..... All worked well, good strike and good beginning. Sadly hot dry weather is taking its toll, so am not overly hopeful. No fault of the product or service, simply bad timing
