Nerium Oleander.
Nerium Oleander is a fast growing and very tropical looking shrub or tree which gives any garden a Mediterranean feel. Gorgeous flowers of pink, red, white, yellow and sometimes orange colours appear in clusters at the ends of branches all Summer and into October. These contrast beautifully against both the long dark green-grey mature leaves and the light green very glossy young leaves.
This attractive shrub/tree are great for growing in a sunny border or in city gardens as well as making great container plants for patios, conservatories and greenhouses. Amazingly tough is some respects as they tolerate drought, heat, salty soil as well as salt spray and excessive pruning but they are frost tender and will need to be kept above freezing, so will need to be brought into a frost free position as the temperature drops.
