Does anyone here have a "buffalo grass" (or "UC Verde") lawn?
I am looking for a low-water lawn-substitute that does not attract a lot of bees and stands up nicely to dogs/foot traffic. Buffalo grass/UC Verde looks great!, but apparently goes dormant "in winter." I'm wondering whether our nice cold East Bay summers would feel like winter to this grass. I am fine with my lawn going dormant for a few months as long as it bounces back for the rest of the year. If you have thoughts about this, I'd love to hear them!

I have a UC Verde lawn that I put in a couple years ago. It get's a little yellow in the winter but doesn't look like a fully dead lawn. More like an underwatered one. With water once a month in the summer now that it's established it looks quite green and happy, even with the chilly summer we had this year.
