Oleander is a stunning evergreen flowering shrub admired for its abundant clusters of fragrant blooms in shades of pink, white, red, yellow, and peach. Flowering from late spring through autumn, it brings vibrant color and a tropical feel to gardens and landscapes. This sun-loving plant thrives in warm climates and, once established, adapts well to drought, heat, poor soils, and coastal conditions. Commonly grown in USDA Hardiness Zones 8-11, oleander is valued for its resilience and low-maintenance. Despite its beauty, every part of the plant is highly toxic if ingested, so it should be planted with care around children and pets.
