Zoysia tenuifolia 'No Mow Grass' | Multiple Sizes

Plant Description:

Zoysia tenuifolia 'No Mow Grass', often referred to as Korean velvet grass or No Mow Grass, is a slow-growing, ornamental turfgrass that’s highly valued in Australia for its fine texture and natural, flowing appearance. Ideal for low-maintenance gardens, it creates a soft, undulating ground cover that blends beautifully into many landscape styles.

Description:

• Growth Habit: No Mow Grass forms a dense, low-growing carpet of soft, tufted clumps. It naturally grows to a height of 5–10 cm, with a mounding, wavy texture that eliminates the need for regular mowing.

• Foliage: The grass blades are very fine and narrow, with a bright to medium green colour. Its natural, rolling growth habit gives it a velvety, sculpted appearance, perfect for adding texture and movement to gardens.

• Maintenance: This grass is a true low-maintenance option. It requires little to no mowing/pruning due to its slow growth and low height. It thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. Once established, it is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during extended dry spells. Minimal fertilising keeps it looking lush.

• Uses: In Australian gardens, No Mow Grass is perfect for ornamental lawns, Japanese or Zen-style gardens, rockeries, or areas where a natural ground cover is desired. It’s also ideal for slopes or difficult-to-mow areas, adding a unique feature to the landscape.

• Climate and Hardiness: Best suited to warm climates, Zoysia tenuifolia performs well in tropical, subtropical, and warm temperate regions of Australia. It can tolerate light frosts but thrives in warmer zones.

• Considerations: While this grass is easy to maintain, it grows slowly and takes time to establish. It’s not suited for high-traffic areas, so it’s best used in spaces with minimal footfall or purely as an ornamental feature.

With its soft texture, sculptural appearance, and low upkeep, Zoysia tenuifolia 'No Mow Grass' is a fantastic choice for Australian landscapes looking for a natural, low-maintenance ground cover.
