Florida Native Tea Duo: Yaupon Holly + Florida Native Tea Bush
Two Native Beauties—For Tea Lovers and Pollinators Alike
Celebrate Florida’s natural flavors with the Florida Native Tea Duo, featuring two unique native plants that brew beautifully and support local wildlife:
- Yaupon Holly (Ilex vomitoria) – North America’s only native caffeine source, prized for its smooth, energizing tea with earthy, roasted notes. Drought-tolerant and pollinator-friendly.
- Florida Native Tea Bush (Melochia tomentosa) – Also known as Pyramid Bush, this charming shrub produces delicate pink blooms and leaves used for mild, naturally caffeine-free tea.
Together, they create a stunning, low-maintenance native garden with year-round beauty and a harvest you can sip and share. Perfect for wildlife gardens, edible landscapes, or container growing.
Includes two mature plants (about 2–3 ft tall) in our X-Large (3 gallon) pots.
