Compadre Zoysia creates a dense growing Zoysia turf that inhibits weeds.

This medium-fine textured turfgrass is much darker green in color than many other zoysiagrass varieties currently available to the turfgrass professional. Compadre is an excellent turf choice, especially in areas where Grey Leaf Spot disease is destroying existing perennial ryegrass turf.

Zoysiagrass established from seed.

Compadre ZOYSIA: This zoysiagrass variety has been chosen by Seed Research breeders due to its high turf quality, very dark green color and consistent seed yield. Compadre Zoysia has performed well in turfgrass trial plantings in various locations, in comparison to both seeded and vegetative varieties. Compadre Zoysia seed is recommended as a good replacement for many of the existing vegetative and seeded zoysia varieties that are slow to germinate and establish from seed or plugs - the seed have been primed for faster germination & establishment. 

Mixing Compadre Zoysia with a turf-type tall fescue can produce an excellent year round turf, in the transition zone and temperate climates. Like other zoysia varieties, Compadre Zoysia does go dormant in winter, but this variety generally goes dormant later than other varieties, and will usually be the first to green up the following spring. While dormant, it maintains a pleasant, uniform golden brown color until warm weather returns. With proper care and preparation, dormant Compadre can be overseeded for winter green color.   

PLANTING RATE:
Compadre - Pure Seeds: Plant 1 to 2 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.

  • Plant in Late Spring / Summer - Follow seed rate recommendations (1-2 lbs. seed per 1000 sq ft.).  More on when to plant Zoysia seed.
  • Plant on a weed free, grass free, prepared soil area.  Do not plant with ryegrass or in FALL.  Keeping the area shade free is important, so mow regular as weeds appear during establishment.
  • Well prepared seedbed required. - If you can't irrigate, don't plant
  • WATER DAILY (or even twice a day - morning & afternoon) FOR first 15-25 days until seedlings have sprouted. - Then every other day.  Skip watering when it rains.  After first 8-10 weeks you can water as needed.
  • Follow proper maintenance for your new lawn (Water, Mow, Fertilize, etc.)

Name Change Note: Compadre Zoysia was formerly known as Companion Zoysia.
The name was changed due to a trademark agreement.
It is the exact same grass variety - just with a new name.

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 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.

"Compadre Zoysia is everything you need in a turfgrass," said Mike Hills, Research Agronomist for Seed Research. "It's a top performer in stressful conditions, a natural weed suppressor and a survivor in extreme summer and winter climates."

 

Due to its late fall dormancy and early spring green-up, Compadre can be overseeded for winter green color.  It is best to wait until the second year of growth to overseed so as allow the Zoysia to become fully matured and established.  Compadre is an ideal choice for renovations or new construction as well and can be maintained at variable mowing heights for different purposes.  It is extremely tolerant of high salt concentrations in water or soil.
