George, it looks like you found some grass that figured out how to thrive in your corner of the world. Which means, of course, it is either native or else a horrible invasive disaster in the making. Coin flip on which. You might check with an extension agent.

50-some-odd years ago my Grandpa cut (mostly) native prairie pasture hay with a scythe, hauled it in with a homemade single-axle lowboy behind an AC D17, and had my Pop and uncle spread it out on the houseyard with pitchforks and rakes. Fast forward to this year. The house and yard are now my responsibility. In this year's drought, Grandpa's pasture transfusion stayed pretty green all year. It didn't grow very tall, but it still had a decent array of grasses and wildflowers. No watering or fertilizer. It's no putting green but I kind the look better for the farm.

If you like the grass, give it a try.
