Pot Size

A dense, fine-textured turf grass forming a soft, cushiony mat that naturally ripples around steppers and mounds into soft hummocks.

Zoysia ‘No Mow’ stays low and lush without frequent trimming, creating a sculpted, meadow-like look.

Once established, it thrives with minimal care — excellent heat and drought tolerance suited well to Brisbane’s climate. Perfect for areas where traditional lawns struggle or where a low, natural look is desired.

Origin: East Asia
Attracts: Ground-dwelling beneficials (non-flowering grass)
