The term “zoysia grass” encompasses a particular collection of grasses that originated in the temperate locales of Asia. Zoysia grasses are warm season grasses native to China, Japan, and other parts of Southeast Asia. The species was named to commemorate an 18th century Austrian botanist, Karl von Zois (1756-1800), who was a “country gentleman” and plant collector. Do we still have “country gentlemen”?
