Oleander Tree

Oleander, botanical name Nerium oleander, is a super drought-tolerant evergreen hedge or tree that can add vibrant color and privacy to your landscape. From the Mediterranean, this floriferous, fast-growing beauty is a staple in landscapes across the Western United States. It's a small to medium-sized plant that makes an excellent "Living Fence". Colorful and fragrant white, red, and pink flowers appear in late spring and into fall, to create a dazzling display of color. This versatile plant tolerates a wide range of soils and can be used as a hedge or tree.

An Oleander will thrive in full sun with low to moderate water use once established. It's a versatile plant that can grow just fine in partial shade. Larger Oleanders can be easily trained into single or multi-trunked trees with dark green, leathery, and semi-glossy narrow leaves. Once in bloom, expect pollinators and hummingbirds to flock into your garden to enjoy the floriferous display of heavily scented single and double-petal flowers.

Easy to care for, homeowners are sure to appreciate the low maintenance features of an Oleander plant. It features a tight and neat appearance making the Oleander an excellent choice for patios or growing in a container. Feel free to plant along the seaside, as Oleanders can tolerate salt spray. This popular tree or hedge is compatible with a wide range of landscape styles. Because of its versatility, it can be used for hedges, screens, and large accents as focal points in your landscape.
