Although some people
feel the Zoysia grass is invasive and requires a lot of attention if you do not
want it to take over your yard edges and garden, it can be contained and is one
of the best grasses you could plant for your lawn. It is best to plant plugs
instead of seeding if you want to avoid the invasion of the Zoysia grass. Just
like most grass species, there are several types of
Zoysia grass for you to pick from. You can identify the differences by looking
at pictures of zoysia grass lawn.
1.
Zenith Zoysia grass
This is the seeded
type of Zoysia grass that is often grown. When it has achieved its full growth,
it forms a dense, warm and beautiful turf. If well established, this grass does
not suffer from the effects of heavy foot traffic. After seeding, it takes
14-24 days to germinate in temperatures higher than 70 degrees. For best
results, its best to first plant Zenith in early spring when soil temperature
is above 65 degrees. Zenith grass has all the advantages of any Zoysia grass
with the advantage of growing from seed. It is highly tolerant of cold weather.
It is therefore ideal for regions that experience low temperatures.
2.
Empire Zoysia grass
The tight blade
growth of this variety of Zoysia grass is responsible for the depth of its
color. The luscious dark green color that is made even deeper by the wide
blades makes this the ideal lawn grass for you. This grass survives through
winter so you will have a beautiful lawn during all the seasons. The empire
Zoysia grass performs well in any zone. The thick ad deep roots help this grass
to be tolerant of seasonal changes and any external challenges. The slow
growing empire grass is chemical resistant so it has minimal maintenance
demands. It also does not require frequent watering.
Other popular Zoysia
species of grass are;
- El Toro which is has great tolerance to shade, drought and other external challenges. You can only grow this type of Zoysia grass by vegetative propagation.
- Emerald is popular with gold courses. It is the fastest growing of Zoysia types and has a deep green color. This grass can only be grown with the propagation of plugs or sprigging.
- Meyer has a great color, density and tolerance to cold, shade and foot traffic. It is possible to grow this grass in areas where warm season grasses fail to grow.

of these Zoysia grasses to use, it is important to compare the features and
