I’m Chiara the Woolly Tea Bush, an evergreen shrub native to South Florida. I'm a low-maintenance pollinator magnet known for my velvety gray-green leaves and clusters of bright pink flowers in spring. My blooms are a favorite for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, so keep me outside in the warmer months and watch the show!
Keep me in full sun. Water by submerging my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and drain well. Do this every 7-10 days, more often if very hot or dry. While I love humidity, I am a drought-tolerant plant and need my soil to dry out a little in between waterings. So wait until my pot feels about 50% lighter before you water again.
Symbolism: With its Wood element in Feng Shui, the Woolly Tea Bush is known to foster growth in one's personal and professional life. Coupled with a chi of Gen, associated with the mountains, this tree represents unwavering grounding and stability.
