I have read about this wonderful miracle grass called Zoysiagrass. Is it as good as the advertisement says?
Due to several over-enthusiastic promotions and advertisements, the public has been misinformed on the merits of Zoysia grasses. Zoysias have advantages and disadvantages like all Florida lawngrasses. The improved Zoysias have to be propagated vegetatively and are extremely slow in becoming established. Two growing seasons may be required for coverage of the lawn when propagated by plugging or sprigging. Zoysias produce a heavy thatch, which requires periodic renovation. Other disadvantages include slow recovery from damage; requires a reel mower; high fertility requirement; need for frequent irrigation; can be severely damaged by nematodes, hunting bilibugs, and several diseases. The University of Florida does not recommend this as a viable lawn grass in Florida except for those with ample time and financial resources to provide the intense maintenance practices required to grow desirable Zoysiagrass.
