Gordlinia grandiflora 'Sweet Tea' is a breathtaking, fast-growing evergreen hybrid that brings year-round elegance and sensational late-season drama to your landscape. Bridging the best traits of its parent plants (Franklinia and Gordonia), this upright shrub features glossy, dark green foliage that transforms into a brilliant palette of orange and red during autumn. From midsummer through fall, it puts on a spectacular show, blanketed in large, 5-inch camellia-like white blossoms with a bright cluster of golden-yellow stamens that release a sweet, inviting fragrance. This low-maintenance showstopper thrives as a prominent specimen tree or an eye-catching accent in moist, acidic, and well-drained soils.
