Creating a tea infusion garden in outdoor plant boxes is a delightful way to enjoy fresh, aromatic brews right from your backyard or balcony. Here are some of the best plants to grow for a thriving tea garden:

1. Mint (Mentha spp.) – A classic choice, mint varieties like peppermint and spearmint thrive in containers and add a refreshing flavor to teas.

2. Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) – Known for its calming properties, chamomile produces delicate flowers perfect for soothing herbal teas.

3. Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) – This citrus-scented herb is easy to grow and adds a bright, lemony note to infusions.

4. Lavender (Lavandula spp.) – With its floral aroma, lavender lends a relaxing touch to teas and pairs well with honey.

5. Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) – A hardy herb, rosemary adds a piney depth to teas and thrives in sunny plant boxes.

6. Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) – This versatile herb offers earthy flavors and grows well in confined spaces.

7. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) – A natural sweetener, stevia leaves can be dried and used to sweeten teas without sugar.

For optimal growth, ensure your plant boxes have good drainage and receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more abundant harvests. Whether you prefer calming chamomile or invigorating mint, these plants will transform your outdoor space into a fragrant tea lover’s paradise.
