I certainly agree that the texture of Poa Pratensis is much more pleasurable. However, being in zone 8 and not wanting to seed my entire lawn every year, I'm more familiar with E. ophiuroides and Zoysia japonica.

That was a way more thorough response than I was expecting.

Also, "zoysia" is a name I haven't heard in a long time. How do you keep it under control?

My yard is surrounded by pine forest, nature does a good job of keeping it from spreading too far. No flower beds, decorative plants in pots.

It's low maintenance and looks good enough for the backyard and I don't have neighbors close enough to complain about rhizomes.

Sounds like paradise. Keep living your best life.
