This variety handles moderate shade, requires less mowing than couch or buffalo types, and has a slow lateral growth habit that makes edging cleaner and easier.

Why choosing Zoysia Australis

Thrives in full sun to medium shade

Zoysia Australis is a popular choice for many families as it is a top performer on sites that are subject to shade from buildings or large trees for periods of the day. This hardy cultivar can photosynthesise (a critical step in maintaining the right nutrient balance) in as little as 3-4 hours of direct sunlight each day.

Additionally, Zoysia Australis has some unique qualities when it comes to the changing of the season and during dormancy in the cooler months can even develop a beautiful red hue, making it a stunning addition to landscaped properties.

Fast establishment and regrowth

Zoysia Australis develops a deep root system and strong rhizome growth and is considered 95% established within the first 12 months—considerably faster than similar turf options on the market.

This exceptional root system promotes the soft, medium-leaf grass to recover much more quickly than other zoysia varieties from wear and tear and helps Zoysia Australis resist disease and weeds.

Less mowing and maintenance requirements

Zoysia Australis is a top performer for domestic, commercial, golf course tee to green surrounds, roadsides, and many other applications as it's quick to establish and requires minimal care.

This attractive all-rounder can be left unmown for up to 12 months, reaching a maximum leaf height of 60-80mm, or can easily be maintained as a picture-perfect pitch with less-frequent mowing than other cultivars.

The strong root and rhizome system means that your Zoysia Australis lawn will stay lush and green without the need for a strict watering and fertilising schedule making this one of the easiest turfs to care for.

It’s not just beautiful — it’s durable, with zoysia’s natural rhizome and stolon structure supporting healthy regrowth.
