Coming soon, a demonstration planting of Legacy BuffalograssLegacy is the lastest variety of Buffalograss recently released and developed by the UNL Buffalograss breeding project.  It forms a dark, dense turf, and the all-female line is well adapted throughout all of Nebraska.  We will be establishing a demonstration planting of the turf, compliments of Todd Valley Farms, who have the exclusive rights to market the grass, and who provided us with some starter plugs.
