Narrative
Fine textured highly rhizomatous vegetatively propagated clone of Zoysia matrella which is noted specifically for excellent tolerance to low light conditions, salt tolerance and rapid recuperative ability. Suitable for use as a warm-season turfgrass for putting greens and tee boxes on golf courses in the coastal regions of the southern U.S. where shade and salinity are a problem. Warm-season, sod-forming grass introduced from Asia. Used as lawngrass in southeastern U.S. Finer, denser sod, but less winter-hardy than Zoysia japonica Steud.
