Zoysia tenuifolia, commonly known as No Mow Grass, is a dense, fine-leafed, evergreen ground cover grass that forms lush, undulating mounds, creating a soft, carpet-like effect in gardens. It is a slow-growing, low-maintenance alternative to traditional lawns, requiring minimal mowing and upkeep.

This drought-tolerant and hardy grass thrives in full sun to part shade, making it ideal for ornamental gardens, rockeries, between pavers, and erosion control. It provides a natural, rolling texture that enhances the visual appeal of landscapes.
