Description
Platinum Zoysia turf is a tough wearing, soft to touch, low maintenance turf grass. It has an appearance very similar to modern day soft leaf buffalo. It is one of the most drought tolerant turf grasses known. It is excellent in full sun and thrives in hot, humid areas while having good shade tolerance.
Maintenance:
Low Maintenance due to it’s insect, disease and chemical restance, allowing for easier weed control. Needs less mowing (7 – 14 days) than nearly all turf grasses grown in Australia today making it a great grass for slopes and ideal for landscaping.
