New Jersey Tea
New Jersey Tea is a tough, adaptable native shrub valued for its compact form, fragrant summer flowers, and ecological benefits. In early summer, rounded clusters of small white flowers appear, attracting a wide range of pollinators. Deep green leaves remain attractive through summer before turning yellow in fall. A deep taproot allows this Illinois native to tolerate dry conditions once established, making it well suited to prairies, open woodlands, slopes, and naturalized plantings. Historically used as a tea substitute during the Revolutionary War, New Jersey Tea is an excellent choice for low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly landscapes.
