How to prune and propagate nerium oleander?
Comments (3)I didn't know that oleanders can be grown up north , and I am from Ontario !!!! Here in Florida they are a very common landscape shrub , and you see them everywhere. This is also true in Tucson Arizona, where we used to live. The leaves grow well in both locations , however my own personal observation, is that the flowering was better in Arizona , ( provided the shrubs receive water during hot drought conditions ). Anyway, go to oleander.org That is the website of the International Oleander Society . Once on the homepage , click on Oleander Culture It's fascinating and informative. I have a pink shrub , which I keep about 10-12 feet tall. It is on the front lawn, which faces east. We are only 2 or 3 miles from the ocean, ( as the crow flies ! ). We took the eyewall of hurricane Frances, and our landscaping was " trashed " , but not this oleander !! There are no flowers on it, but the shrub looks perfect !!

Comments (4)Islandbreeze, I believe one of the butias is unprotected and he will protect the palmettos minimally. The oleanders receive no protection and are out in the open! Very cool to see....See MoreFor the hardy oleander folks...
Comments (3)I just purchased an Oleander yesterday, it didn't have any information to tell me if it's hardy or not. It has burgandy red buds. Would it be better to plant it in the ground or in a pot? I'm south of Chatt. on the mountain. I have no experience with them but from what I've read zone 7 is too cold for them. If you have any information I'd appreciate it....See MoreHardy Oleander Supply?
Comments (1)PlantDelights sells a few hardy oleanders, and they will ship outside of the U.S., but it'll probably be pricey. Here is a link that might be useful: PlantDelights...See Morewilmington_islander
