Discussion

Zoysia pacifica is less cold-tolerant than either Z. matrella or Z. japonica. It is not a common lawn grass in the Flora region, not even in the southern United States. The cultivar 'Cashmere' has many of the characteristics of Z. pacifica; it is probably derived from a hybrid between Z. matrella and Z. pacifica.
