Zenith® Zoysia grass is a medium bladed, dark green colored, warm season grass developed from Japonica Zoysia by Dr. Jack Murray who headed the USDA Research Station in Beltsville, MD.  Zenith® Zoysia lawns exhibit much better fall color and earlier spring greenup and have better rust resistance than turf produced by Japonica seed imported from the Orient.  It is similar to Meyer Zoysia in blade width and color, but is easier to mow.  Zenith® Zoysia grass grows well in full sun or under light shade.  It is an excellent choice in many applications from residential lawns to sports fields and golf course fairways (click here for more information on Zenith® Zoysia seeded golf course applications ).

Can Zenith Zoysia seed be planted in fall?

 

Zenith® Zoysia grass seed should be planted shallow on a newly prepared seedbed and watered frequently. It germinates readily producing a stand of seedlings in as little as ten days. Like all zoysias, Zenith® Zoysia grass grows and spreads slowly therefore seeding rates of one to three pounds per 1,000 square feet are recommended.
