Zoysia tenuifolia is a very easy care, low maintenance grass for areas of low to no traffic. It prefers a neutral soil with moderate to low water requirements to keep it in good condition. It does not need to be fertilised and maintained to the degree of other lawns. Over fertilising may damage this grass.
If planting plugs or rolls of turf, do so during the warmer months of the year. It will not establish well during winter as Zoysia tenuifolia will go dormant at this time of year.
Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Mascarene Grass is a tender plant.These estimates for how long Mascarene Grass takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.
