Zoysia minima, commonly known as Miniature Zoysia or Dwarf Zoysia, is a low-growing, dense native grass forming a soft, fine-textured turf up to 10 cm tall. It features bright green, narrow leaves and spreads slowly via rhizomes, making it an excellent groundcover for lawns, pathways, and erosion control. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Zoysia minima tolerates drought and a range of soil types, preferring well-drained conditions. This hardy, low-maintenance grass is ideal for sustainable landscaping and naturalistic garden designs throughout New Zealand.
