Seems to me that it would be more like a southern grass.
Yes. I know in Florida, Zoysia is predominant. They say it can thrive as far north as Chicago, but prefers warm climates. I'm not sure Crabgrass would tolerate high heat and potential drought of some Florida summers. Perhaps. I don't recall seeing Crabgrass in Florida. I'm sure it exists there, but I just don't recall seeing it.
My Father (RIP) planted Zoysia plugs and his home was in the northern US. His lawn did fine. It just turned brown in the Winter but came back well every Summer. Zoysia needs less mowing as it grows out more than it grows up. It is drought tolerant and thrives well in the southern states. I'm just not a fan. I like a more northern or midwestern lawn grass mix. But that's me. Others will disagree I know.
I almost tried the Bob Vila endorsed, "Grassology" but after seeing the reviews on Amazon.com I passed. Most said NOTHING grew when planted, and that it was a huge waste of money.
