I heard that it grows fine, but it goes dormant and turns brown for
part of the season every year and most folks don't like that.

I saw an ad for Amazoy (Zoysia) grass in the last Parade
magazine,
and was wondering if anyone can attest to its claims so far as
not
requiring much watering of cutting, and its ability to stay
green in
hot/cold extremes. I am considering this in the northern CA
region.


Your best recommendation for grasses in your area will be from
your County Agricultural Extension Agent. Find him in the local
government section of your phone book. The County agent probably
has done considerable testing of various grasses -- most likely
including Zoysia and other wundergrass.

I would take those advertising claims very cautiously. Parade
isn't one of the worlds most well-known lawn-and-garden
magazines.
