Camellia sinensis 'Silver Dust'

White speckling is found across the surface of the leaves.  While later summer flushes produce light green shoots, the first flush is often pure white.  A small batch of tea made from the white shoots yielded a very mild flavor with no bitterness.  Compact growth and year-round interest make 'Silver Dust' a great choice for containers. A relatively slow grower that makes a nice mounded plant.
