Sweet Tea brings a warm, peachy-bronze cast to shaded ground-level plantings and containers, with delicate sprays of pale flowers rising above the foliage in late spring. The color deepens as cooler weather sets in, shifting the whole picture as the seasons turn.

Part to full shade works best here; too much direct sun will fade that rich tone. Once rooted in, it handles dry shade beneath trees and needs little fussing beyond occasional watering during our driest stretches.
