If a finer blade grass is your preference, then go no further than Platinum Zoysia Grass. Selected by Lawn Solutions Australia as an excellent performing lawn grass, hardy Platinum Zoysia is well-adapted to tropical, sub-tropical and warm temperate climates in Australia.
Platinum Zoysia Grass has a relatively fine leaf up to 5mm wide and 40-50mm long which is soft to touch, provides excellent wear tolerance and thrives in extreme heat and humidity. It performs fairly well in the shade and keeps ok winter colour.
Zoysias are warm season grasses and are well adapted to tropical, sub-tropical and warm temperate conditions by having the ability to roll its leaves to conserve water. This increases its drought tolerance which is a trait normally only exhibited in broader leafed grass varieties.
Platinum Zoysia is a cost effective option if you are looking for a turf for your yard, requiring less watering and less mowing than most other lawn types in Australia.
Zoysia grasses spread both by stolons and by rhizomes, and are noted for their relatively slow growth rate which reduces the frequency that mowing is needed. Once established, Platinum Zoysia competes well with weeds.
