Description

Zoysia tenufolia is a deciduous ornamental grass and grows 6" high.This creeping grass has fine, short blades that make for a fluffy turf. It is usually used as a groundcover and is very slow-spreading. It goes dormant in winter, turning straw colored. In spring, Zoysia becomes green again. In inland hot valleys, the dormant season may last through spring. It prefers full sun and a moderate amount of water.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
