Sweet Tea is a polyploid selection of mountain gordlinia, an intergeneric hybrid between the native Franklin tree and loblolly bay. It was developed at North Carolina State University by Tom Ranney. The name comes from the tea family, the light sweet fragrance, and its Southern roots.
It reaches about 20–30 feet tall and 10–15 feet wide, matching your listing size of 20×15. The form is upright and multi-stemmed, often grown as a small tree or large shrub. The standout is the bloom: large, cupped white flowers up to 5 inches across with a bold yellow center of stamens, blooming July through September. They look like oversized camellias or sunny-side-up eggs and carry a mild sweet scent.
Foliage is semi-evergreen—narrow, lance-shaped, dark green above and pale beneath. In fall the leaves that drop pick up red and orange tones. It is faster and more disease-resistant than the Franklin tree parent, though still finicky about drainage and moisture.
Use it as a specimen or accent where you want late-summer flowers and a smaller footprint. It is not a large shade tree.
