Zoysia Grass (Zoysia japonica) is a luxurious, soft-textured warm-season grass that forms a dense, lush green lawn with excellent heat and drought tolerance. It’s perfect for home lawns, parks, golf courses, and landscapes, offering a beautiful carpet-like appearance that requires less water and mowing than many other grasses. Zoysia thrives in full sun but can tolerate some light shade, making it one of the most versatile lawn grasses available.
