Island Blooms by Costa Farms 28" Tall Oleander Standard Direct Sunlight, Live Flowering Outdoor Plant

Oleander (Nerium oleander) is a versatile evergreen shrub, admired for its lush, lance-shaped leaves and clusters of vibrant blooms that range from white and pink to red. Its ability to thrive in various environments makes it a favored choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance yet visually striking addition to their landscapes. To ensure optimal growth, plant the Oleander in well-draining soil, as it tolerates a range of soil types but thrives best when excess water can efficiently drain away. Once established, it exhibits notable drought tolerance, though regular watering during extended dry periods will promote more vigorous blooming. Be cautious not to overwater, as yellowing leaves can indicate excessive moisture. ​ Pruning is generally minimal; however, to maintain a desired shape or remove any damaged or dead branches, it's best to prune in late winter or early spring. Given its robust nature, the Oleander can be utilized as a hedge, screen, or standalone specimen, bringing enduring beauty and greenery to gardens and outdoor spaces. ​
