New Jersey Tea (Ceanothus americanus) features glossy leaves, numerous bright white flowers and a mounding shape that make this compact shrub a popular garden member. Plant two to three feet apart to create a low growing, drought tolerant hedge. New Jersey Tea is attractive to hummingbirds, which eat the tiny insects that pollinate the flowers. The name New Jersey Tea was coined during the American Revolution because its leaves were used as a substitute for imported tea.
