Oleander is a tropical to subtropical flowering shrub known for its abundant blooms, durability, and upright growth habit.
Nerium oleander features long, narrow, deep green leaves paired with clusters of showy flowers in shades of pink, red, white, and yellow. The blooms are produced in large terminal clusters, creating a strong, continuous display of color against the structured foliage. It grows as an upright to slightly spreading shrub, developing into a dense, full plant that works well as a hedge, screen, or focal planting. In warm climates, it flowers repeatedly throughout the growing season, providing consistent color in high-light outdoor environments. Its combination of toughness and bloom performance makes it a reliable choice for landscape use. This plant is widely used in warm climates for its resilience, long bloom period, and ability to perform in challenging conditions such as heat, sun, and drought once established.

· Large clusters of blooms for strong visual impact
· Durable, upright growth ideal for hedges and screens
· Reliable performance in hot, sunny environments
Key Specs
Light: Bright Light to Full Sun
Water: Moderate; prefers well-drained soil
Temperature: USDA Hardiness Zones: 9–11
