Zoysia Tenuifolia Trays

What is Zoysia Tenuifolia?

(We are permitted to send this Product to Victoria)

Zoysia tenuifolia is fast becoming Australia’s favourite ‘No Mow’ Grass. It forms fluffy, moss-like mounds and makes an ideal groundcover for Japanese / Balinese Gardens, Rockeries and Fairy Gardens.

These Zoysia Tenuifolia Trays measure 350mm x 295mm and are ready to be placed on the ground. These trays are far more economical that buying the equivalent nine 100mm pots.
Plant Trays are the ideal solution to planting a small area easily and quickly, are a cheaper alternative to buying pots and require no digging and no waiting for the plants to join up. Simply lay the Plant Trays side by side to create your desired effect, or simply cut them up into any shape as needed. With our products, you do not need a specialist gardener or landscaper to install them.

Zoysia is perfect for use between Pavers or Stepping Stones or as a Feature Plant in a Large Pots. It’s Fine, Dark Green leaves and Dense Undulating habit makes it ideal candidate for weed control when planted en-mass. It’s wavy appearance makes it a fantastic architectural plant.

Zoysia tenuifolia is native to Asia, and is named after botanist  Karl von Zois. Karl von Zois zu Laibach was a Carniolan amateur  botanist and plant collector. He is best known today as the namesake of zoysiagrass, which was named by Carl Ludwig Willdenow in 1801. The bellflower Campanula zoysii is also named after him.

A warm-season grass, its deep root system allows it to tolerate drought better than many other turf grasses. It is also tolerant of shade, cold and foot traffic.

Zoysia tenuifolia is thought to originate from the Mascarene Islands. Zoysia tenuifolia is also referred to as Mascarene grass.

Zoysia tenuifolia is known by many Common Names including;

• Korean Velvet Grass
• No Mow Grass
• Mascarene Grass

Zoysia Tenuifolia is mainly utilised as a ground cover in Oriental Gardens, among rocks and ponds, and makes a spectacular architectural specimen as it can also grow over rocks and other structures in the garden. It is also used to great effect when planted between pavers.
