Korean Lawn Grass, scientifically known as Zoysia japonica, is a warm-season perennial grass species commonly used for lawn and turf purposes in Korea and other parts of East Asia. It belongs to the Poaceae family and is renowned for its dense growth, tolerance to diverse soil conditions, and ability to withstand heavy foot traffic and high temperatures.
Characterized by its fine texture and dark green color, Korean Lawn Grass forms a dense, lush carpet-like cover, making it a popular choice for creating aesthetically pleasing lawns. Its growth habit is predominantly spreading, forming dense, compact mats that are highly resistant to weed invasion once established.
This grass species is valued for its durability, as it maintains its attractive appearance even under dry and harsh conditions. Korean Lawn Grass has excellent resistance against pests, diseases, and various environmental stressors, making it a low-maintenance and durable option for lawns and landscapes.
Korean Lawn Grass exhibits a slow to moderate growth rate, allowing for easier management and reduced mowing frequency. It thrives best in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade, making it versatile for various light conditions.
In addition to its use as lawn grass, Korean Lawn Grass is also utilized in erosion control, soil stabilization, and golf course fairways due to its excellent adaptability and ability to form compact sod. Its resilience and adaptability have made it a highly sought-after grass species for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
