Oleander flowers are showy, profuse, and often fragrant, which makes them very attractive in many contexts. It is a shrub or small tree. 

Oleander grows to 2-6 m (6.6-19.7 ft) tall, with erect stems that splay outward as they mature. The leaves are in pairs or whorls of three, thick and leathery. The flowers grow in clusters at the end of each branch. Flower color can include reds, pinks and whites.

Oleander is a vigorous grower in warm subtropical regions, where it is extensively used as an ornamental plant in parks, along roadsides and in private gardens. It is most commonly grown in its natural shrub form, but can be trained into a small tree with a single trunk. Many will tolerate occasional light frost. The plant is tolerant of poor soils, intense heat, salt spray, and sustained drought.

In cold winter climates, oleander is a popular summer potted plant. Oleander is an ideal flowering shrub for patios and other spaces with hot sunshine. During the winter they should be moved indoors, ideally into an unheated greenhouse or basement where they can be allowed to go dormant. Once they are dormant they require little light and only occasional watering. 

Note: Oleander is one of the most poisonous commonly grown garden plants. Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
