Tea Plant, Korean Tea

Camellia sinensis 'Korean Tea': These vigorous and productive plants produce abundant foliage that makes high quality green or black tea. Hardy and easy to grow, these plants are from South Korea's popular tea growing region. Attractive and surprisingly hardy evergreen shrubs, these fall-blooming Camellias produce the tea we all enjoy. Plants are selected for their vigorous growth and ability to withstand temperatures below 5°F. Tea camellias produce abundant white flowers in September, accented by dark green foliage. Tea leaves are harvested throughout the summer and are used to make both green and black tea. Tea plants grow 4 to 5 feet in height. They like full to half day sun and well-drained acidic (native) soil.
