Emerald Zoysia (Zoysia ‘Emerald’) is a cultivar of Zoysia grass with a thin bladed leaf that forms a very lush lawn. It shares the drought and shade resistance of the other varieties.This grass has a fine soft texture and can be left unmowed as it only grows to a height of 6–12 inches (15–30 cm). When left unmowed it forms a humpy convoluted surface which is sometimes used in oriental landscapes (see picture on Zoysia page).
