No turfgrass will thrive in shade other than St. Augustine. I have
known people to plant dwarf monkey grass in shade to replace turf, and

I have zoysia planted in heavy shade under some large oak trees and it thrives
just fine. It even spreads pretty well. It is the larger bladed version of
zoysia... I think El Toro and Palisades are two of the varieties.

I stand corrected. I was not aware of these varieties. It is a
rather dense grass.
