Why do I see an occasional pollen head in my Buffalograss?
Even all-female varieties of buffalograss will shoot an occasional pollen head. These are part of the female plants and are sterile. Certain cultural practices or weather conditions contribute to this. They are: Very wet weather or over-watering Over-fertilizing. Do not fertilize an established Buffalograss lawn more than 3 times per year in Zones 5 or below; or 4 times per year in Zones 6 and above.
