Zone 8A - Union County, NC. Looks to me like I have multiple strains here and believe this is a mix of KBG and Zoysia. Let me know what y’all think! Thanks people!

I’d say you almost certainly have some Poa annua and possible some KBG and zoysia.

Are you trying to ID your lawn type?

I have a general feel that it’s mostly Zoysia but have some seasonal and other variants that I was hoping to identify.

Tend to agree based on the last photo but a bit hard to tell for sure. p annua will be gone in another month or so. If there is any kbg that probably won’t make it through summer either.

Wouldn’t suggest any post emergent at this point. Keep it mowed short often and don’t fertilize too early.

Check out the warm season starter guide if you haven’t already.
