Nerium Oleander – A Pink Beauty

Nerium oleander is an ornamental shrub that exhibits attractive characteristics from flower to stems. The plant is an erect evergreen shrub with lovely flower clusters of pink flowers. Each perfumed flower has 5 spreading petals. The flower clusters are supported by the plant’s slender stems. Lance-shaped with leathery texture and pointed tips refer to the plant’s leaves. If the flowers come in clusters, the leaves come in groups of 2 or 3 along the branch.

Just like other Oleanders, Nerium oleander is drought- and salt-tolerant, thus making it an excellent flowering shrub for coastal areas as well as for xeriscaping. Nerium oleander is also perfect as a container plant. In outdoor spots and landscapes, Nerium oleander makes a fabulous accent plant, useful hedge, and great border plant.
