We often get calls asking for UC Verde Buffalograss in sod or seed form. And simply put, you can’t get UC Verde in either of these forms anywhere due to the way it grows.

This variety sends out deep roots once it’s established, which help to make it drought tolerant, but also prevent it from being used as sod. Once it gets going, there’s no easy way to cut a patch from the ground to roll it on up to sell.

UC Verde is also not available in seed form, because it doesn’t really produce seed heads. Which makes it a great grass for allergy sufferers!

So there you go! That’s why we only sell UC Verde in plug form (which is like a tray made up of many small containers of UC Verde). It’s the only way it can be grow for distribution. To install these plugs, you dig a small hole or you can use our custom auger attached to a drill to make small holes (this will save your poor back), about 12″ apart – center spaced. Pop the plug in and cover up the hole!  – Ok, well there’s a bit more to it, like making sure you pre-treat the area to be installed and properly watering during establishment, but you get the point.
