Is zoysia best plugged when it is turning green or should you wait until it is completly green?

actually zoysia is best not plugged at all! just sod it.

Yes,But I have some large patches that I would like to spread to other areas. Those plugs would be free, I would need to pay for sod.

Neal: I would wait until the zoysia is green and growing. I also recommend when you cut your plugs that you soak them in water or at least fill the hole where they will go with water before you add the plug. The pieces of sod that I cut up and soaked for 10 minutes or so have done much better and grown faster.

Good luck.
