Tight blade growth also contributes to the depth of color found in Icon Zoysia. With its wide blades and luscious dark green hue that lasts through much of the winter, it's truly a turf grass that will make your neighbors jealous. You'll also enjoy greatly enhanced curb appeal for your home.

Icon Zoysia is one of the few grasses rated to perform well in all zones.

Durable enough for professional use, too, Icon is a favorite of homeowners as well as golf courses, theme parks, master planned communities, office complexes, and more.

Additional Information for Fall & Winter:

Winter performance of the Sod Pods will depend on the grass variety. St. Augustine is a warm season grass and has the least cold tolerance. Sustained extreme cold temperatures, such as below 25 degrees, can seriously damage or kill St. Augustine. Sustained would mean periods of freezing temperatures that last more than 6 to 8 hours. This is generally not an issue in the southern half of states in the Gulf Coast and Southeast. In the event that a sustained hard freeze is predicted, it would be beneficial to water the St Augustine right before the freeze takes place. This is because the water acts as an insulation because moist soil does not get as cold as dry soil.

Zoysia and Bermuda are much more cold tolerant than St. Augustine. These grasses go dormant in the winter which protects their new growth from freezing. Temperature should not be an issue for Zoysia and Bermuda anywhere in the Southeast or Atlantic Coast of the US. However, because these grasses go dormant in the winter, it is important not to overwater. With shorter and cooler days in the late fall and winter, over watering can expose the grass to fungus and other diseases.

In summary, Sod Plugs can be planted throughout the Fall and Winter, but it is important to keep an eye out for any predicted hard and sustained freeze. Be careful to not overwater, unless watering specifically to act as an insulator prior to a freeze.
