Growth Habit: Zoysia grass forms a dense, thick carpet of grass that spreads through both above-ground stolons and below-ground rhizomes. This growth habit creates a lush and uniform appearance, making it popular for lawns.
Drought Tolerance: Zoysia grass is known for its excellent drought tolerance. It has the ability to go dormant during dry periods and then green up again when moisture returns. This makes it well-suited for regions with water restrictions.
Heat Resistance: Zoysia grass thrives in warm temperatures and can tolerate high heat and humidity. It's an ideal choice for areas with hot summers.
Cold Tolerance: While Zoysia grass is generally more cold-tolerant than some other warm-season grasses, it can still be sensitive to cold temperatures and may go dormant in cooler climates.
Wear Resistance: Zoysia grass has good wear resistance and can handle moderate foot traffic, making it suitable for lawns, parks, and recreational areas.
Here's how to plant Zoysia Grass from seed: Choose the Right Time: Zoysia grass seeds should be planted in the late spring or early summer when the soil temperature has reached around 70°F or higher. This usually corresponds to the time when other warm-season grasses are being planted. Soil Preparation: Prepare the soil by tilling it to a depth of 4-6 inches. Remove any debris, rocks, or large clumps of soil. Level the area using a rake to create a smooth and even surface. Soil Testing and Amendment: Conduct a soil test to determine the pH and nutrient levels of the soil. Zoysia grass prefers slightly acidic soil with a pH between 6 and 7. Seed Sowing: Spread the Zoysia grass seeds evenly over the prepared soil. Keep in mind that Zoysia seeds are very small, so be cautious not to sow them too densely. Raking and Rolling: Gently rake the soil surface to lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. Avoid burying the seeds too deeply, as they require sunlight to germinate. After raking, use a lawn roller to press the seeds into the soil for good seed-to-soil contact. Watering: Water the newly seeded area thoroughly immediately after sowing. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. This may require watering multiple times a day for short intervals. Germination: Zoysia grass seeds can take anywhere from 14 to 21 days, or even longer, to germinate. Be patient and maintain consistent soil moisture during this period.
