The new species derived from zoysia japonica, fast becoming the favourite zoysia grass Australia-wide.

Zoysia Australis is a medium-textured zoysia grass with a unique blue-green leaf colour. Since hitting Australian shores (and lawns) less than a decade ago, it’s gained traction thanks to its superior wear tolerance and recovery compared to other zoysia grass/warm season grass types. It handles full sun to medium shade, and has a pleasantly soft but robust feel underfoot. This unique zoysia turf really is a lovely grass to own and grow.

Fastest Establishing Zoysia Variety Confirmed by Independent Australian Trials

In addition to its superior durability, low-water needs, and high shade tolerance for a Zoysia grass, lawn laid with Zoysia Australis takes root with exceptional speed. Research conducted by the Sports Turf Research Institute showed this new zoysia is one of the fastest cultivars to reach establishment in the first 12 months after laying sod.

This means your newly laid lawn will more quickly realise its maximum potential for wear, drought and shade tolerance to thrive even when faced with frequent early use. As long as you maintain moisture to the roots through the essential first few weeks and fertilise as necessary, you can count on the fast-establishing zoysia grass to rapidly establish. Start enjoying your new lawn to the max sooner!

Lawn Solutions Australia-certified and Bred by the World’s Best!

Zoysia Australis was bred at the world famous University of Georgia, Tifton Campus by Dr Brian Schwartz. Dr Schwartz is renowned as the scientist behind the highly successful release of TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda.

Zoysia Australis arrived in Australia back in 2018 with a range of other elite zoysia grasses, such as the popular, Sir Grange Zoysia. After extensive trials in a range of conditions and applications, Zoysia Australis was selected for commercial release. Zoysia Australis offers significant benefits and a real point of difference from the other turf varieties available to consumers.

There’s a New Zoysia Grass Turf in Town

Zoysia Australis turf is tough and hardy, providing a practical zoysia lawn option that thrives in a wide range of areas and environmental conditions. Released on the Australian market in 2018 by Lawn Solutions Australia along with other new zoysia turfgrasses, it’s the ideal turf solution for maintaining a lush lawn in the face of high traffic and shade. It’s the zoysia turf grass that performs in Australian conditions where other grasses falter. Little wonder it’s become a firm favourite, from golf courses to gardens across the country.

* Full sun to moderate shade (minimum 3 – 5 hours direct sunlight per day). The more sun in winter, the better.

* Suitable for various soil conditions, but free draining soils are recommended.

* Can be mown as low as 10mm or left unmown. Grows slowly, so frequent mowing isn’t required (always ensure mower blades are sharp and never remove more than ⅓ of the leaf blade).

* Zoysia Australis can develop a unique and alluring reddish hue coming out of the spring/summer growing season into the cooler winter months, especially in temperate zones across the southern states.

This is less common in sub-tropical Brisbane and south east Queensland, where warmer climates limit the effects of winter dormancy. This means Brisbane zoysia lawns are less likely to enter a fully dormant phase.

Benefits of a Zoysia lawn

Sun & Shade Loving

It’s the warm season grass that loves full sun areas as well as shady ones (once established).

Wear Tolerant

It’s the perfect lawn for home gardens, semi-shady public spaces and commercial landscaping.

Family-friendly

The medium leaf blade creates a lawn that is soft and lush for kids to roll on and lay upon and for pets to play.
