Diamond Zoysia in South Carolina


About Diamond Zoysia

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 and collars, as well as putting surfaces. Diamond has better fall color retention than most other zoysiagrass varieties and has an early spring green-up.
