dull colored

Dull colored meaning the plants don't look the way healthy plants should (shiny or glossy) and so are unappetizing. Perhaps they're wilted, a bit dry, or poorly taken care of.

Spanish term (edited): apagadas - plantas apagadas

dried up - dried-up plants

Since "apagado" is modifying "té" in patinba's examples, I'm wondering of "apagadas" refers to some quality of the plant that is common to those used for making teas. It seems to me that 'dried up' might be more appropriate in your context.
