St Augustine sometimes gets purple tips in harsh winter. It might be normal for your zoysia. When you read the original ads for Empire zoysia they probably talked about disease resistance. As you can see, it does get disease. When that happens the grass is dead and will not come back except as it spreads back from outside the dead areas. You can buy more sod and dig out what you have but otherwise you have to wait for it to fill back. That is one of the main reasons people in my neighborhood abandon zoysia and go to St Augustine. St Aug also gets disease but it usually grows back the same year. Your areas might not recover for several years due to the slow growth of Empire. Also kids can damage zoysia. The grass blades break off leaving you with a "path" of very low growing grass where they played. This is another reason people abandon zoysia. If you decide to try a different grass, consider Floratam St Augustine. It was developed by the University of Florida and Texas A&M University to withstand the typical stresses of our climates and conditions. I just put a couple pieces into my common St Augustine lawn to see how it does. It is just coming out of dormancy now so we'll see how it does and report back later. No matter what lawn you have, you should water it deeply and infrequently. Deeply means for an hour or so at a time. Infrequently means no more than once a month during the cooler parts of the year and no more than once a week during the hottest part of summer. Your sunlight, wind, humidity, and soil type will cause you to adjust from that regimen but many many people reading here have turned their lawns around by changing their watering practices. I know I'm one who has. And it was a Phoenix-based lawn contractor who convinced me to do it like that, so if they can do it in Phoenix, you can do it in Florida.

Texas... I wish I had been more aware of Yukon at the time I planted the Riviera. I'm not even sure if it was available to the public then..06'. I just know that there was alot of ranting and raving about the Riviera's green-up and hardiness rates. I planted mine at the exact time that the golf course I work for did. The owner and super did quite abit of research and chose Riviera. We put it into the ground of the five par 3 holes we have and it is doing great. The members love the lie it provides even when dormant compared to the bent/rye fairways we have on most of the course. I just may order a few pounds of Yukon this year as you suggest. It is getting the same hype now that the Riviera was a couple of years ago. I don't think it will be too much longer before they engineer a seeded Bermuda cultivar that will thrive Nationwide. Thanks for educating me on the Tifsport. I was under the assumption that none of the hybrids did well with cold winters. Auteck... I'm 20886

Funny thing about that Mimosa-my folks had lived in Fort Myers for twenty years when, upon visiting them, I pointed out this neat, puffy-looking flower growing in the turf on some hell-strip by a mall. They had never seen it! I saw it my first day down there! I guess it's safe to say, the world is composed of two types of people, those who notice plants and those who don't. To wit, if you'll allow me to take this slightly further OT- a botany professor who writes a good blog was writing about his first-day students. He would show them a photo of some scene in a forest somewhere, tropical or otherwise, and ask them to write down what they saw in the picture. Almost to a student, if there was some kind of animal in the picture, it got written down. Nobody....not one student....took note of all the plant life in the photo! And this was a botany class. Sheesh..........I don't hold out a lot of hope for our future. In any case, sunshine mimosa is one of those subtropical plants that, when I'm down in FL I like to look at and conjure up the dream of using it in the north here as an annual. Not saying that would work, or that I'm going to be doing it, but just that it always makes me think about doing so. +oM
