Korean Grass (Zoysia Tenuifolia); The Ultimate Lawn Alternative.  

Looking for a lush, low-maintenance alternative to traditional grass? Korean Grass, also known as Zoysia tenuifolia or No-Mow Grass, is a stunning choice for anyone wanting a soft, undulating ground cover that stands out. Its fine-textured, bright green blades form dense, cushion-like mounds, giving your landscape a unique, almost cloud-like appearance.

Why You’ll Love It:

- Low Maintenance: Requires little mowing..many gardeners skip it entirely.

- Drought Tolerant: Once established, Korean Grass is very water-efficient.

- Versatile Beauty: Perfect for modern gardens, Asian-inspired landscapes, and flowing, organic pathways.

-  Foot-Friendly: Soft underfoot, ideal for walkways or lightly trafficked areas.

Growing Requirements:

- Sun Needs: Thrives in full sun to light shade. Best performance in areas with at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight.

- Watering: Moderate water needs. Water deeply but infrequently once established.

- Soil Preferences: Prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Avoid heavy clay without amending.

- Hardiness Zones: USDA Zones 7-11. In cooler zones, it may go dormant in winter but typically bounces back in spring.

- Growth Habit: Slow-spreading and forms a thick mat over time. Great for erosion control on slopes.
