Narrow, dark green leaves and large clusters of flowers in white, pink or red

Blooms profusely and for a long time, often from spring to autumn

In pots usually 100–200 cm high, in open ground in warm climates higher

Location

Likes a sunny, warm spot

Ideal for patio or balcony, in pots or in the ground in a sheltered spot

The more sun, the richer the flowering

Water requirement

Keep the potting soil slightly moist during the flowering period

In a pot, water regularly in summer, sometimes daily at high temperatures

Water less in winter, but never let it dry out completely

In case of severe frost, bring indoors or protect well with fleece.

Overwintering in a light, cool place (5–10°C) will promote flowering the following year

Fun fact: Nerium oleander is beloved around the Mediterranean for its long blooming period and strong scent — but all parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested.
