Labrador Tea is slow-growing evergreen shrub native to the boreal forests of Canada.
It thrives in wet, swampy conditions.
Labrador Tea has narrow, leathery, dark green leaves, topped by a cluster of white flowers in the spring. It is a perfect ornamental shrub for boggy, wet areas of your property.
Birch Leaf Meadowsweet is a small, rounded shrub, reaching 3 to 4 feet high.
In the early summer, white flowers emerge with dark green foliage. Come fall, birch-like leaves turn a kaleidoscope of red, orange, and purple adding seasonal interest.
Native to Japan and Eastern Asia, this dwarf shrub attracts butterflies and is an excellent option for the front row of a shrub border.
