plant sale text: Fever-tree is a small tree that is very showy when in bloom. Rose-pink bracts similar to petals surround the small flowers, creating a poinsettia-like effect in the midsummer garden. Fever-tree is native to low woodlands of the southeastern United States. This species is easy to grow, though it is not often found in cultivation. Its common name reflects its medicinal use by Native Americans.
