Zoysia Grasses are grown
successfully from the upper warm tropical season areas north
to even in some areas of the cool season zones, depending on
the variety. Zoysia makes a beautiful lawn with a fine to
medium textured leaf. Zenith Zoysia is known to survive as
far north as Chicago.
Zoysia grass originated from areas in Southeast Asia, China
and Japan. It is a low growing, creeping grass, heat
resistant, wiry, possibly uncomfortable under the bare foot.
Zoysia is slow to establish but aggressive and competes with
weeds for its own space.
Zoysia is a warm season grass that can be grown further
north than many of the other warm season grasses. It makes
one of the most beautiful, carpeted lawns when fully
established.
With the first really cold weather zoysia
grass will go dormant turning golden brown. Generally it is
not recommended that Zoysia be overseeded with ryegrass.
Zoysia is one of the first warm season grasses to recover in
the spring. For many years Zoysia grass could only be grown
by vegetative propagation but the newer varieties can now be
planted from seed. Zoysia can be grown as far north as New
Jersey along coastal areas, New York and Maryland and as Far
West as California. Zoysia can be found growing in many
soils from acidic to alkaline.
Zoysiagrass is wear tolerant and can be used on golf
courses, athletic fields (baseball and softball), lawns and
parks. It forms a dense sod but is slow to repair so it is
normally not used on high traffic football or soccer fields
In the south Zoysia has good shade tolerance while in the
cooler areas it needs more sun. Zoysia is a highly desirable
grass for the coastal areas with an increased tolerance for
salt spray similar to St. Augustine.
A weed and grass free seed bed should be established in the
beginning. Later, after Zoysia has established the
aggressive dense growth will crowd out weeds and other
grasses. Varieties have different textures ranging from
coarse to fine. Newer varieties can now be planted from
seed, which in the past were only propagated through sod,
sprigs and plugs. The slow growing aspect makes Zoysia a
lower maintenance lawn. Zoysia grasses fall under three
species categories with varieties developed from each. Lawns
planted with sprigs or plugs may take up to two years to
fully develop into the thick density that a Zoysia lawn is
capable of producing. Zoysia seeded lawns will be quicker to
establish than sprigs or plugs and under ideal conditions
can be established in five months.
