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.
✔ 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.
✅ Tea hedge - Plant multiple shrubs to create a productive, attractive low hedge.
✅ Edible garden feature - Adds ornamental value while providing usable harvests.
✅ Container growing - Performs well in pots, ideal for patios or courtyards.
