EMPIRE™ ZOYSIA
EMPIRE™ Turf grows Australia wide and provides a lawn grass which is easy to look after. It has a relatively fine leaf which is soft to touch, excellent wear tolerance and thrives in extreme heat and humidity.
EMPIRE™ is good in the shade and keeps a good winter colour and it can generally outcompete the weeds once established. EMPIRE™ ZOYSIA generally requires less watering and less mowing than any other commercially grown lawn in Australia.
EMPIRE™ ZOYSIA [nicknamed E.Z. grass - Easy Grass] is a versatile, adaptable lawn, well suited to Australian conditions. EMPIRE has performed well in both sandy and clay soil types, with aggressive growth from its runners and rhizomes. It can be mown with a standard rotary mower due to its ideal leaf width and open growth habit.
It requires less maintenance and mowing than other grasses and is a very efficient water user.
WHY IS IT SO GOOD:
- LESS MOWING - Requires less mowing than any other commercially grown lawn in Australia. Although EMPIRE™ ZOYSIA grows across the ground at a fast rate, its upwards leaf growth is less than most other commercially grown lawns in Australia. It grows fast across the ground for better wear tolerance, but one that grows more slowly upwards for less mowing.
- WATER WISE - Zoysia's are known to be amongst the most drought tolerant lawns around. EMPIRE™ is proving to be even more water efficient than other Zoysia types. With its deep root system EMPIRE was selected due to its ability to survive long periods of drought.
- HARD WEARING - EMPIRE™ ZOYSIA has excellent fast growth across the ground. Its runners are fast and highly branching, which provides excellent recovery from wear. EMPIRE ZOYSIA is quickly becoming known as the tough, hardwearing turf.
- GOOD WINTER COLOUR - EMPIRE™ ZOYSIA has good winter colour when compared to other more common turf.
