Zoysia is a particularly hardy grass that grows well in a wide range of conditions and requires far less watering and mowing than most grasses. At the same time, this \"tough\" grass creates a thick, soft carpet that feels great in bare feet. Zoysia is ideal because it actually grows differently. It sends out runners or \"stolons,\" expanding sideways more than it grows tall.Zoysia is a particularly hardy grass that grows well in a wide range of conditions and requires far less watering and mowing than most grasses.
