Ledum glandulosum - Labrador Tea

Description

Native to bogs and stream edges throughtout the west, Labrador Tea makes a fine addition to a woodland garden or pond border. Given the regular water, light shade, and acidic soil that it grows with in nature, it will reward you with dark green foliage year round, and showy white flowers in late spring. Although the foliage is sweet smelling, it is also toxic, so Labrador Tea tea is a bad idea.
