Description
Also called Z-52, this grass variety is an improved cultivar of Zoysia japonica. It has a medium, dark-green color with intermediate leaf texture and shoot density. Meyer Zoysia is slightly less shade tolerant than Emerald Zoysia. It also has the fastest spring green-up. The most cold tolerant zoysia grass, it is grown as far north as Pennsylvania and Missouri. This is the zoysia grass often advertised as the “super” grass in newspapers and magazines.
