Nerium Oleander

Description

Nerium Oleander is a beautiful flowering plant that belongs to the dogbane family. It is a small to medium-sized shrub that can grow up to 6 meters in height, but the variety we are discussing here is only 50cm to 70cm tall. The plant has dark green, leathery leaves that are arranged in whorls around the stem. The leaves are long and narrow, measuring about 10cm to 20cm in length.

The most striking feature of Nerium Oleander is its flowers. The plant produces clusters of showy, funnel-shaped flowers that come in a range of colors, including pink, red, white, and yellow. The flowers are about 5cm to 7cm in diameter and have five petals. They bloom in summer and fall and are highly fragrant, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Nerium Oleander is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil but can also grow in partial shade and tolerate drought conditions. The plant is toxic if ingested, so it should be planted away from children and pets. It is often used as an ornamental plant in gardens and landscapes due to its attractive flowers and foliage.
