Add a touch of Southern charm to your landscape with the stunning Pinckneya bracteata, commonly known as Fevertree or Georgia Bark. This deciduous shrub or small tree can grow up to 30 feet tall, but is more commonly seen at 15 to 20 feet. The large, coarse, rich-green leaves provide a beautiful backdrop for the 1/2-1" yellow-green trumpet-shaped flowers backed by white, pink, or rose sepals. These showy sepals resemble poinsettias, adding a festive touch to your garden. Fevertree is a native to the southeastern U.S. and loves moist, acidic soil. This versatile plant can be used as a specimen tree or grown in a mixed border. In earlier days, the inner bark of this plant was used to treat malaria and other fevers, giving it the name "Fevertree". Bring a touch of history and beauty to your landscape with Pinckneya bracteata.
