Description

Magnificent patio additions, these stunning standard Oleander produce a superb aroma and deliver a Mediterranean feel across summer. An outstanding and sweet scent drifts from the yellow blooms and gently sits on the warm summertime air.

They are exotic, yet hardy down to -5C and very easy to grow. These Oleander thrive on neglect and can perform in hot, dry weather. These Mediterranean beauties bring height, vivid colour, and a sweet fragrance to the garden for years to come.

Supplied as a pair of established plants in 18cm pots, standing at 95-115cm tall, ready for planting. Please note, you will receive either single or double flowering Oleander, dependant on availability.

Important: Contact with Oleander foliage and its sap may irritate the skin. All parts of this Oleander plant are toxic if ingested.

Top Tips

Performs best when planted in a large pot in a sunny spot of the garden. Container-growing allows you to move the Oleanders into shelter for winter. Take care when handling - no need to trim to shape, as it will naturally branch over several years.

Care Information

Water freely across summer and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks until June, with exceeding packet guidance. Switch to a high potassium fertiliser and use this until flower buds start to show colour.
In winter, stop feeding and reduce the level of watering, even keeping plants on the dry side.
Flowering occurs in late summer, roughly from July to October, on the new shoots of the current season�s growth, so prune in late winter or early spring.
Remove all thin crowded shoots and tip-prune young plants. Cut flowered shoots by half and the side shoots to 10cm.
Take care when handling.
