| New Jersey Tea | ||
| Description | New Jersey tea (Ceanothus americanus), also known as red root, is a short, hardy, deciduous shrub with clusters of tiny white flowers. Its leaves can be used to make a caffeine-free herbal tea. New Jersey Tea also improves soil quality by fixing nitrogen, making it more available in the soil. It also attracts and supports many pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. | |
