Zoysia is a type of warm-season grass known for its dense growth and ability to withstand heat and drought. It is commonly used in lawns, golf courses, and sports fields due to its resilience and attractive appearance. Zoysia grass grows best in sunny areas but can tolerate some shade, making it a versatile choice for various landscapes. This grass type has a slow growth rate in the spring, but once established, it forms a thick carpet-like lawn. Zoysia is also resistant to pests and diseases, which reduces the need for chemical treatments. Its deep root system helps it survive in less-than-ideal conditions.
