New Jersey Tea is an extremely versatile and adaptable, low growing shrub that can withstand inhospitable conditions, even infertile and dry soils. Despite its tough as nails reputation, this native gem is covered in spring with delicate, white, fragrant flowers that attract a host of pollinating insects. Due to a deep tap root, New Jersey Tea is an ideal candidate for erosion control but also means that the shrub does not transplant well. A spectacular choice for banks, slopes, shrub borders and pollinator gardens. Black Walnut, drought, dry soil and urban pollution tolerant.
