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.
Lord Sea Buckthorn is a male variety that is a pollinizer for female plants. One male plant is capable of pollinating 5-7 female plants. Male Sea Buckthorn plants do not produce berries, but the pollen from their flowers allows female plant to set fruit.
Lord Sea Buckthorn has relatively thornless branches and other well-known features of Sea Buckthorn plants. These include silvery green foliage and nitrogen-fixing capabilities, which improves the surrounding soil.
Can be used to pollinize female Sea Buckthorn plants, including Orange Energy Sea Buckthorn.
