Florida native wildflower that grows as a small shrub with soft, fuzzy leaves and clusters of tiny pink to purple flowers arranged in a pyramid-like shape, attracting pollinators and thriving in sunny, sandy habitats. The small flowers fill the plant and are very attractive to a wide variety of pollinators including honey bees and native bees. 
 
Also known as pyramid bush or pyramid flower. 
 
As the common name "Tea Bush" suggests, it has been used in herbal teas and is said to have medicinal benefits. The flavor is described differently from sour to sweet depending on the source of information. We generally suggest growing it for the attractive flowers and to bring pollinators into the landscape.
