Anyone heard of Meyer zoysia? I’m in TN and I believe that’s what I have. I’d certainly appreciate any firsthand knowledge

I planted several pieces of sod when I lived in OKC several years ago because it looked so beautiful. With surprisingly little shade, it faded away completely over the next few months.
I had also seen it in full sun where it was so thick, it had a “puffy” appearance and light green.
I’d imagine in the right place with the right care, it’d be great.

Meyer zoysia, like emerald, is an older cultivar that was popular in the past. When i bought my emerald, i went to the field to see it first, and they also had meyer at the time. i wound up with a little bit of meyer here and there in my emerald. It's very similar in appearance to zenith. I've only seen empire, and knew for sure that's what it was, a couple times. from what i remember, there's not a lot of difference in appearance between those three. it's medium bladed.
