Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Nashia inaguensis (Tea plant from Jamaica). Fragrant pineapple scented leaves adds a delicious vanilla flavor to teas. Cream flowers occasionally...likes sun to part shade and keep moist.
Tiny dense fragrant foliage scented of pineapple when brushed. Tiny white flowers are borne in clusters in summer. A good choice for a small topiary or bonsai. A variously scented herbal tea is sometimes made from the tiny foliage.
