Oleander is drought-tolerant and can live quite happily on little or no water once it's established, though it'll grow more slowly and may not look as lush. To keep your oleander looking its blooming best, be sure to water it consistently and deeply while it's getting established, then after a few years give it a good deep soaking every couple of weeks. It will also be happy to have more water, provided the soil drainage is adequate. We have seen it in Greek habitat filling seasonally dry watercourses.

Notas de cultivo

This vigorous shrub can be coppiced (cut to the ground) every few years to keep it compact. Naturally grows into a billowing, nice as an informal hedge.

Will grow in chilly fog belt gardens but may be shy to bloom.

In cold-winter zones, may die back and regrow from the roots.

Do not burn oleander debris—inhaling the smoke is dangerous.

Salt- and coast-tolerant, though blooms better along the central and southern coast; choose sunniest exposure there.

Interés especial

Some plants are mildly fragrant in bloom.
