5 Seeds Hardy Pink Oleander Nerium oleander Evergreen Flowering Shrub
Hardy Pink Oleander is an evergreen flowering shrub prized for its long summer bloom of soft pink flowers and its tolerance of heat, wind, and dry conditions once established. The narrow, leathery green leaves form a dense, upright habit, making it a dependable choice for hedges, borders, and container growing in warm climates.
This shrub works well as a background planting, informal hedge, or patio specimen, and the showy pink blooms add color through the hottest part of the season. It grows vigorously in full sun and prefers well-drained soil; container plants benefit from a sheltered spot in cooler zones.
