Grayleaf Teabush

from $12.50

Melochia tomentosa

This native, evergreen, large flowering shrub is a super pollinator magnet. We think it is a keystone species for gardeners in South Florida because of the diversity and numbers of pollinators it attracts, including hummingbirds. Blooming year-round, it has tiny pink flowers and tiny grey leaves on dark stems and a beautiful soft and open habit in the garden.
