Zoysia grass is a warm-season turfgrass known for its dense, carpet-like growth. It thrives in sunny areas and is often used in lawns, golf courses, and sports fields due to its durability and ability to withstand foot traffic. Zoysia is also drought-resistant, making it a popular choice in regions with limited rainfall. This grass type grows best in temperatures between 80°F and 95°F (27°C to 35°C) and can tolerate some shade. It has a slow growth rate in the spring, but once established, it forms a thick mat that helps suppress weeds. Regular maintenance, including mowing and fertilization, is essential for optimal health.
