Bushel and Berry introduces non-berry plants
Bushel and Berry from Star Roses and Plants has introduced two new plants for 2025: tea camellia ‘Brew-Tea-Ful’ and Passion Fruit ‘Poppin’ Passion’. These plants are the first non-berry additions to the collection.
Tea camellia ‘Brew-Tea-Ful’ is the first non-fruiting variety available from Bushel and Berry. This camellia produces three types of tea: soothing green tea, rich black tea, and aromatic blossom tea, making it an option for growers to diversify their edible program with just one plant. Brew-Tea-Ful does especially well in warm climates and can be positioned as an evergreen hedge. Performs best in Zones 7 to 9.
‘Poppin’ Passion’ thrives in warm climates and offers container-friendly, easy-to-grow attributes. Its flowers are a host for native pollinators, something the modern gardener will love as much as the delicious fruit. Performs best in Zones 9 to 11
“We want to continue to offer a unique selection of easy-to-grow edible and ornamental plants to Bushel and Berry,” said Kristen Pullen, woody ornamental portfolio manager, Star Roses and Plants. “To do this, we decided to expand the brand outside of berries. These new varieties not only uphold the current brand promise but expand our offerings into the deep south and west for a brand that can be stocked in low chill hour environments.”
