If there were ever a single turfgrass cultivar that every
homeowner and landscape professional should be considering,
JaMur Zoysiagrass is the one. In fact, JaMur is considered by
many to be the most versatile of all of the warm-season
turfgrass varieties.
This attractive and extremely functional
zoysiagrass developed from selections collected by world
renowned USDA geneticist Jack Murray is taking the landscape
industry by storm. This is due to JaMur's minimal water usage
and fertilization requirements, not to mention the fact that
lawn maintenance just does not get much easier than this.
JaMur is similar in appearance to a dwarf variety of St.
Augustine, without the insect problems associated with those
varieties, while providing excellent shade tolerance
capabilities. In addition, JaMur is considered a much-improved
replacement for other zoysiagrass cultivars, including El Toro,
Meyer, Palisades, Empire and Crown. Its attractive blue-green
color is the ideal choice for high visibility and high traffic
residential and commercial applications, as well as an excellent
golf course rough and bunker face selection.
