Zoysiagrass is a distinct grass that is ideal for anyone interested in establishing a unique landscape. There are many varieties available, including Zoysia matrella, which is more commonly known as Manilagrass. This type of grass came to the United States in 1912 from Manila and is known for having a finer and denser turf than Zoysia japonica. Many say that it resembles bermudagrass in color, quality, and texture. Here are some of the cultivators of Manilagrass:
- Cavalier – This long-leaved grass is known to make a very attractive turf during summer and is perfect for people seeking grass options for golf course fairways, home lawns, and sports fields. Furthermore, it has a good resistance to army worms and tropical webworms.
- Diamond – Released from Texas A&M in 1996, this vegetatively propagated option is special because of its fine texture, great shade tolerance, and fast growth. Many individuals have used this on experimental golf greens with varying levels of success.
