Fine-Textured Hybrid Zoysia
Emerald zoysia is a fine-textured hybrid zoysia that is one of the most attractive of the zoysia grasses. It is well-suited for quality lawns where regular maintenance and care is provided. Emerald zoysia is less hardy but more shade tolerant than Meyer Zoysia. Emerald zoysia is dark green with fine leaf texture, high shoot density and a low growth habit. If over fertilized Emerald zoysia will quickly develop excess thatch. Emerald zoysia is also subject to winter injury. Only use Emerald Zoysia for top quality lawns where good maintenance practices will take place. We strongly encourage only mowing with a reel mower and removing clippings..

Requirements, Irrigation & Characteristics
Light Requirements:
Emerald Zoysia is the one of the more shade tolerant warm season grasses available in Georgia and the Atlanta Area. Handling as little as 4 – 5 hours of sun, Emerald Zoysia has been a suitable replacement for many Fescue yards in Metro Atlanta.
Irrigation:
Though drought tolerant, to maintain a healthy appearance during the hottest months of summer, Emerald Zoysia needs about 1 to 1 1/4 inches of water a week. On sandy soils it often requires more frequent watering, for example, 1/2 inch of water every third day. A light green-grey color and narrowing of leaves indicate that it is time to water.
