Bermuda and Zoysia Together: Similar Summer Look, Different Spring/Fall

Bermuda and Emerald zoysia look alike in summer. Differences: zoysia greens earlier in spring (2-3 weeks), holds color later in fall. Some zoysia cultivars stay green all winter. Emerald zoysia greens up late Feb/early March; Bermuda late March.

Note from Clint Waltz: Zoysia more cold-tolerant, greens earlier, holds color longer. Emerald zoysia may show green in late February; Bermuda typically late March.
