New Jersey Tea (Ceanothus americanus) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped.
New Jersey Tea is a tidy short shrub with white lace-like flowers. A few of these placed in a garden will compliment many other summer blooming flowers such as Butterfly Milkweed and Coneflowers. It isn’t a woody or thick stemmed shrub—it has thinner stems. We have New Jersey Tea plants for sale that are first year seedlings that grow very large their second year.
