Grass Zoysia

Zoysia cultivar chooser

Four questions, ranked from published extension ratings.

How much sun does the lawn get?
How cold are your winters?
Which mower?
How will you plant it?

Ratings come from Clemson, Texas A&M, UF/IFAS and NC State. A blank rating means we found none, and the result says so.

    How the ranking works

    Each cultivar starts with no penalty. Shade, winter hardiness and mower fit each add a penalty if the published rating falls short of what you asked for, and a smaller one if we found no rating. Seeded cultivars (Zenith and Compadre) are the only ones shown if you plant from seed. Texas A&M's shade trial counts how often each cultivar was in the top statistical group over three years under live oaks; the others use Clemson's descriptions.
