Overview

Diamond Zoysia is a fine textured, vegetatively propagated, warm season variety with excellent tolerance to low light conditions, salty soils and high traffic. Diamond is best maintained at a very low mowing height and has outstanding recuperative abilities making it a logical choice for golf course tees, collars, as well as putting surfaces. Diamond has better fall color retention than most other zoysiagrass varieties and has an early spring green-up.
