Oleander is a flowering shrub with a dense, rounded, upright habit. Oppositely arranged leaves are elongated, 7 inches long by an inch wide. Prolifically blooming, clusters of flowers grow from stout stems, a stunning show of bright colors contrasted with green leaves.
Oleander is wind, salt spray, and drought tolerant. Dropping little to no rubbish, oleander is fast-growing and low maintenance.
