# The Best Time to Transplant Zoysia Grass Plugs
Zoysia is a warm-season grass that tolerates drought and heat. Although a poor performer in areas with cold weather, southern gardeners love zoysia for its coarse blades and low-maintenance nature.

Timing
-
The ideal time to plant zoysia grass plugs is late spring or early summer. This gives the plugs time to become established and grow together before the weather cools in the fall.
Strategy
-
Plant the plugs in a checkerboard pattern for best coverage. The closer you plant the plugs, the quicker they will provide full coverage.
Considerations
-
Do not water or fertilize the plugs until they are established. This generally occurs within four to six weeks.
