Emerald Zoysia Seeds for New Lawn - 56g All Season Ornamental Grass Seed

Emerald Zoysia, a longtime standard in the world of zoysia grass, has been a popular choice for many years. It shares the same drought and heat tolerance as other varieties of zoysia, and is known for its disease resistance. The grass blades of this variety are thin and delicate, with a soft texture reminiscent of a blade's tip. It is often used in oriental landscaping and for creating golf course turfs.

Atlanta Sod Farm has found that Emerald Zoysia has a slower growth rate compared to other varieties, reaching a maximum height of only 12 inches. The name "Emerald" comes from its vibrant green color, which is a defining feature of this grass. Like its relatives, Emerald Zoysia has deep roots that are able to extract water from the soil efficiently.

The dense appearance of Emerald Zoysia gives it a lush, carpet-like look once it's been planted. This grass can adapt well to various climates, thriving in both winter and summer conditions. However, it is susceptible to damage from harsh weather, which can slow down its recovery process. Despite this, Emerald Zoysia can still grow with just 3-4 hours of sunlight each day. For optimal results, it should be cultivated in warm, humid climates, particularly in the Southern regions of the United States.

When planting Emerald Zoysia, it is recommended to wait seven to fourteen days after the last frost. The soil should have a pH level between six and seven for best results. After sowing the seeds, cover them with no more than a quarter of an inch of soil or sand. It's important to keep the soil moist for at least 14 days after seeding to promote healthy growth.

The exterior of Emerald Zoysia is dark green with a fine leaf texture, dense shoots, and a low growth habit. It is known for its drought tolerance, making it an excellent choice for regions in the southern and southeastern United States. Once established, Emerald Zoysia requires less water than other grass types like St. Augustine, thanks to its deep root system.

With its unique characteristics and adaptability, Emerald Zoysia remains a popular choice for landscaping and turf applications in various climates.
