Emerald Zoysia is a cultivar Zoysia grass that produces a lush lawn. It has a thin-leaved leaf and forms a dense lawn. It has the same drought and shade resistance as the other varieties.
This grass is fine and soft in texture. It can be left unmown because it grows to 6-12 inches (15-30cm) tall. It forms a dense, convoluted surface that can be used for oriental landscapes if it is not mown. (See picture on Zoysia).
Emerald Zoysia can be grown in zones 7-11. It thrives in humid, warm environments. It is a great grass for the southern and southeast states. Once established it requires less water than St. Augustine but slightly more than Bermuda. It is drought tolerant due to its deep root structure. Browning may occur in triple digit heat, but adequate hydration can restore its vibrant green color in a matter of minutes. The grass is moderately shade tolerant, coming close to the shade tolerance of St. Augustine. However, it does not do well in full shade as compared to Rye and Fescue. An average of at least 3-4 hours of full sun per day is a good measure for healthy growth. Flooding is tolerated, but constant saturation will eventually weaken the grass. This zoysia is tolerant to moderate cold and can be damaged by hard freezes. It is not suitable for transition zones. Emerald Zoysia lawn grass is slow to grow. Zoysia grasses are generally slower growing than Bermuda and St. Augustine, with Emerald Zoysia being one of the slowest growing Zoysia grasses. This grass has a dense, creeping growth rather than an aggressive, upward, or sprawling growth. The grass’ blade density is higher than most other grasses. This gives it a dense, carpet-like appearance, which can be called “hedgehog”.
Due to the density of the grass, excess thatch can accumulate and should be removed every several weeks. Mowing can be performed every 7-10 days, with no more than 1/3 of the blade cut at one time. Recommended mowing height of this grass is between .75 and 2 inches (1.9 and 5.1 cm). Mowing the grass shorter than this height can produce a weaker less attractive product, whereas mowing the grass higher than this height will promote a less-dense, wispy appearance. Reels are recommended as common rotary mowers can tear fine-blade grass, leaving a grey/white tip rather than a clean cut.
Emerald Zoysia has an adverse reaction to excessive fertilization, requiring no more than two light distributions per year. 8-8-8 or 13-13-13 fertilizer is recommended.[citation needed] If over fertilized, it will turn yellow and could die. Since regrowth of this grass is slow, its best to err on the light side of fertilization than to over fertilize.

This grass has a fine, soft texture and can be left unmown as it only grows to a height of 6–12 inches (15–30 cm). When left unmown, it forms a humpy convoluted surface which is sometimes used in oriental landscapes (see picture on Zoysia page).
