Affordable zoysia turf - didn't happen overnight.  Patten Seed Company, with more than 50 years of warm-season seed and sod production experience, spent years developing special turfgrass seed technology, while collaborating worldwide with research labs and industry experts, to deliver the breakthrough - Zenith Zoysiagrass.

The company combined three parent clones from Dr. Jack Murray, former head of the noted USDA zoysia research program.  The resulting progeny, Zenith Zoysia, combined with a unique chemical germination enhancement process is superior to common zoysia and performs equal to or better than most popular vegetative zoysia planted on golf courses today.

The astounding result of this scientific teamwork was the transformation of a seed with a historically slow and poor germination rate of barely 30 percent into a robust product that achieves a germination rate of 85 percent or more.
