Zoysia is:
- drought tolerant
- heat tolerant
- green all summer
- dormant all winter
- low maintenance
- soft underfoot year round
- disease resistant
- weed resistant
Zoysia is not:
- instant: it takes 3 years to fill in the plugs
- water tolerant: Zoysia can drown
- maintenance free: it does need some mowing and fertilizing.
- a weed: it’s a type of Asian grass
- grown from seed easily, plugs are the best way to go
- a desert grass: You still have to water it, especially to start it out.

This my blog. It is also the blog of Zoysia Farm Nurseries, based in Taneytown, MD. I just got here. At this company, that is. And I am totally new to the lawn grass world. (Yes, there is such a place) So, I am posting here to chronicle the journey. I work on a farm of 300 acres of 2 inch high turfgrass in Northern Maryland. Of the Meyer Zoysia variety. More on that later. But mostly I wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I don’t intend to focus entirely on growing and selling Zoysia. There will be everything from Walt Whitman to botany to history to ok, the growing and selling of Zoysia. I have to have some focus, after all.
*ok, not really.
