‘Halla Green 11’ is a Zoysia matrella cultivar showing short height and extended greening period lines at low temperatures of winter than general warm season zoysiagrasses. ‘Halla Green 11’ Z. matrella was collected from the seaside cliffs in Geogeum Island, Jeollanam-do. The turfgrass was transplanted to the genetic resources greenhouse and propagated in the test field. Among the zoysiagrasses cultivated in the greenhouse and test field, Z. matrella, which had a short height and showed extended greening period lines during the low temperatures of winter, was finally selected and named ‘Halla Green 11’ and was registered in June 2022. The main external morphological characteristics of the ‘Halla Green 11’ variety were analyzed using the test guideline (TG) of the Korea forest service, which is described as follows: Since the turfgrass has a ‘Leaf sheath’ of a short length, the mowing height can be lowered, rendering mowing easy. Furthermore, the ‘Plant height’ and the length of the ‘Leaf blade’ are short. The ‘Leaf blade width’ is narrow, and trichomes on the leaf surface are not present. Hence, ‘Halla Green 11’ is morphologically classified as Z. matrella. The leaf angle is very wide. The colors are green for ‘Leaf blade’, light green for ‘Leaf sheath’, and light purple for ‘Stolon’. Particularly, during the low-temperature period of winter, ‘Halla Green 11’ showed approximately 25.2, 10.6, and 8.1-fold high levels of leaf chlorophyll than the control cultivar ‘Yaji’, control Zm-6, and Zm-19, respectively. Owing to the short height of the plant and extended greening period phenotype, ‘Halla Green 11’ is expected to be highly preferred by consumers (Registration No. 274).
