Lobo™ Sod in California
Zoysiagrass
This medium-fine texture zoysiagrass demonstrates superior turf quality, high density that outcompetes weeds, low seedhead production and good recoverability. Bred for low inputs, Lobo can retain good color during drought and cold, and it has demonstrated that it can persist well under an array of climates (including warm-temperate, warm-humid and hot-arid) as well as under a range of uses, from low-management situations such as golf course roughs or roadsides to higher-end uses like lawns and golf course fairways.
