Camellia sinensis – Green Tea

Camellia sinensis is the celebrated evergreen shrub from which all true tea originates, prized for its glossy leaves and fragrant white flowers. It’s both an attractive garden plant and a functional crop, allowing you to grow and harvest your own fresh tea at home.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Camellia sinensis

✔ Grow your own tea - Harvest young leaves to make fresh green, white, or oolong tea.
✔ Attractive evergreen shrub - Glossy foliage and dainty white flowers add ornamental beauty.
✔ Compact and manageable - Easy to maintain at a small size or shape as a hedge.
✔ Hardy and versatile - Thrives in a variety of soils and climates, especially in part shade.
✔ Low maintenance - Requires little care once established.

🏡 How to Use Camellia sinensis in Your Garden

✅ Tea hedge - Plant multiple shrubs to create a productive, attractive low hedge.
✅ Edible garden feature - Adds ornamental value while providing usable harvests.
