About this plant
Oleander grows wild along Morocco's wadis, which says everything about its resilience: heat, drought, wind, salt spray, poor soils. From May to October it covers itself in clustered flowers, here in a strong pink and a pure white.
As a free hedge it screens a garden within two seasons; in a planter on a terrace or around a pool it flowers non-stop on measured water. Its narrow evergreen foliage stays handsome in winter.
Every part is toxic: keep out of reach of children and pets, and prune with gloves.
