It is found in sandy solids of open woodlands and prairies and on rocky hillsides in the wild and is native to the western and eastern United States. This plant features fragrant white flower clusters that bloom May to July and leaves that can be used for tea. It is highly drought and moderately deer resistant. Under severe drought conditions, the leaves will become discolored and weak which will subside when introduced to moisture. Additionally, it has many ecological benefits: Elk and rabbit graze on New Jersey tea and turkey and quail eat the fruit. The flowers attract bees, wasps, butterflies and moths, collecting nectar from the flowers and for bees, pollen. The caterpillars of the butterfly Celestina neglecta and Erynnis martialis feed on the flowers, flower buds, and fruit of the shrub.\u00a0"}
