Zoysia grass has been used in landscapes and golf courses in the US for more than 50 years. Zoysia japonica grass varieties survive over winter as far north as Canada. Zoysia grass generally has shorter green periods the further north they are grown, but winter kill is rarely a problem. Rather than die from the cold temperatures, Zoysia grass will go dormant, turning a golden brown, until temperatures rise again when it will green up.

Advantages of Zoysia Over Other Grass

Unlike cool season fairways of bluegrass, ryegrass and/or bentgrass, zoysia grass areas are planted once. The creeping nature of Zoysia grass allows the turf plant to recover from wear and traffic without reseeding. This will add up to a substantial savings from reseeding cool season grasses every fall.

SEED USE NOTICE:

Please note that we ONLY recommend Zoysia seeds for use in bare soil areas. Planting seeds into existing grasses has a HIGH FAILURE rate. If planting into an existing lawn (grass and/or weeds) we recommend that you consider using Zoysia Grass plugs instead of seeds. - Zoysia seeds also are difficult to achieve germination in low light / shady areas. Use plugs in these areas for best results.
