Korean Tea Plant

One of the most northern-grown teas in the world. Tea plants are attractive evergreen shrubs that will grow in regions where temperatures don’t fall below 0 degrees F. They produce abundant 1 to 2 inch fragrant white flowers in fall and have leathery, dark green foliage. The leaves, when dried, make a very aromatic and flavorful tea. Plants prefer part shade in hot areas and rich, well-drained, acidic soil. If left unpruned they will grow 8 to 10 feet tall.
