Anyone heard of it? Is it worth buying (better than sod)?


Over rated for cold climate areas where it looks bad most of the year. As
stated, plugs take a long time to establish, so your yard looks bad for a
long time. It can be hard to mow if it gets long. It does have some insect
pests. I would say that if it isn't common in your area, there is a reason.
I grew up in a home with zoysia (zone 5b) and I wouldn't recommend it. My
parents finally had it removed and started over. If you do a google search
of this newsgroup, you will find several discussions that should lay out the
pros and cons of zoysia grass.
