UC Verde Buffalo Grass does go dormant in the cold winter months, typically here in California that means from November to around February. Although it loses its color, it also means months of absolutely no maintenance – no mowing and no watering needed! But if you’d like to keep the appearance of a green lawn all you have to do is apply a grass colorant and it’ll last for up to 13-14 weeks! It’s pretty inexpensive, all you have to do is mix the solution with water, spray it on and let it dry. You can easily control how deep of a green you’d like by increasing the water to colorant ratio.

Below is an area in our trial garden which has not been watered since last November! That’s 6 months of no water or maintenance of any kind!!! On the bottom half of the image you can see where the grass has been mowed back and the color has already returned to the lawn now that spring is here.
