Tough and vigorous, Nerium oleander 'Alsace' (Oleander) is a very pretty evergreen shrub that produces an abundance of clusters of slightly fragrant, funnel-shaped, white flowers adorned with a delicate pink heart. It blooms year-round in warm climate areas, and throughout the summer in other areas. Thriving with little care, this beautiful flowering shrub features a bushy, rounded to vase-shaped habit, and its evergreen foliage of leathery, lance-shaped leaves clad the branches throughout the year. Native to the Mediterranean region, this attractive shrub is heat and drought-tolerant once established and will grow, especially well in seaside gardens, tolerating salt spray and wind.
- Grows upright with an open habit to 15-20 ft. high (4.5-5 m) and 10-15 ft. wide (3-4.5 m).
- Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Will grow in poor soils and tolerate coastal conditions. While Oleanders are very drought tolerant, their floral show is more impressive if regularly watered.
- Deer and rabbit resistant
- Great for flowering hedges, cottage gardens, coastal gardens, Mediterranean gardens, city gardens or large containers.
- Virtually disease free, but watch for red spider mites, scale insects, and mealybugs.
- Prune lightly as needed to shape after flowering
