Zoysia Grass

Zoysia japonica

Filter:

A warm-season Asian turf grass that forms a dense slow-growing lawn tolerant of heat, drought, and salt, popular on golf courses and in southern lawns.

Description

Zoysia has fine-textured stiff green blades that form a thick weed-resistant turf. It spreads slowly by both above- and below-ground runners, creating a tight cushion.

Cultivation

Zoysia loves heat and full sun, browning out below freezing and recovering in late spring. It tolerates drought and seaside salt but recovers slowly from damage.

Uses

A popular warm-season lawn for the American South and East Asia, zoysia is also widely used on golf fairways and stadium fields where its dense turf stands up to traffic.
