Zoysia tenuifolia.
No Mow Grass (*Zoysia tenuifolia*) thrives in full sun to partial shade. This low-maintenance grass forms dense, cushion-like mounds, making it ideal for areas where mowing is difficult or undesirable, such as slopes, borders, and low-traffic areas. It is drought-tolerant and well-suited for warm climates. Ensure the planting site has well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, as No Mow Grass prefers dry to moderately moist conditions.
No Mow Grass is best suited to warm, temperate to subtropical climates, tolerating a wide range of temperatures, ideally between 15°C and 30°C. It is frost-tolerant once established, though growth may slow in cooler weather. In warmer climates, this grass remains green year-round, while it may go dormant in colder regions.
Plant No Mow Grass in well-draining soil. It adapts to various soil types, including sandy or loamy soils, and can tolerate slightly acidic to neutral pH levels (6.0-7.5). Adding organic matter, such as compost, can improve soil structure and support healthy growth, though No Mow Grass generally requires minimal soil amendments.
Feed No Mow Grass with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to encourage vigorous growth. This grass typically requires minimal fertilising, but an annual application of organic compost can help maintain its health and color.
