Camellia Sinensis Seeds for Planting - Herbal Plant

Camellia Sinensis Seeds for Planting produce evergreen shrubs known for their glossy green leaves and dense branching growth habit. This is the primary plant species used to produce green tea, black tea, white tea, and other traditional teas. The plants are widely cultivated in warm, humid, and subtropical climates and are suitable for both ornamental and edible gardening. They develop small white flowers under suitable conditions and form long-lived shrubs that can be maintained for regular leaf harvest once mature. The plants prefer acidic, well drained soil with consistent moisture and partial sun exposure.
