Faits intéressants
Narrow-leaved New Jersey Tea is a small, upright, deciduous shrub that is an early spring bloomer. Its fragrant white flowers give way to black, triangular fruits that mature in late summer. Although somewhat slow to establish, its extensive root system and drought tolerance make it an excellent choice for poor soil sites. It is a good choice as ground cover on dry, sunny and rocky locations or for erosion control on slopes. It should remain undisturbed once fully established.
