| Nara - Zoysia macrantha |

Nara is a low maintenance grass that is naturally very drought tolerant. In drought studies, Zoysia macrantha was found to be more drought tolerant than Buffalo and Couch turf.
It is generally a coastal grass but has been proven to work well many hundreds of kilometres inland. Common Zoysia macrantha is very salt tolerant, so it is no surprise that Nara has this quality as well, although Nara is better watered with fresh water when possible.
In tests, Nara had much more salt tolerance than than Couch, Buffalo and Empire. An ideal grass for growing close to the beach or on waterfront properties.

Nara will need about 20% less mowing than Buffalo, 30% less than Couch and 45% less than Kikuyu, but is faster growing than Empire Zoysia. It is also good a competing with weeds, and will grow in 50 - 55% shade. Nara is beautiful and is a fine textured lawn and has a great winder colour, but scalps less than couch when mowed.
