Through a close collaboration with nature, GN-Zoysia is an entirely new variety of the ever-popular Zoysia grass. Unlike other varieties of Zoysia, the revolutionary make-up of GN-Zoysia allows for quick, healthy establishment due to its ability to send its strong rhysomes (root system) deep into the soil. This unique trait makes it possible to grow with plugs or strip sodding, and GN-Zoysia is ideal for shaded golf courses or other properties.

Another strong aspect of GN-Zoysia is its versatility. You'll find that it looks as impressive at 3/16 of an inch as it does at 1 1/2 inches. This uncompromising flexibility gives the discriminating user the option of different looks, depending on the level of maintenance desired.

Other characteristics include:

• Fine Texture - very soft to the touch
• Appealing blue/green color
• Low thatch build-up
• In mild climates, it exhibits excellent color retention in the fall with early spring recovery.
