Cultivating Care—For Plants, People, and Paws
Drought tolerant once established — water during the hottest and driest periods for best performance. Always water at the roots and avoid wetting the foliage.
Full sun lover — needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the most abundant blooms. Too little light leads to fewer flowers.
Grows 6–12 ft. tall and wide — fast growing and easy to maintain as a shrub or train into a small tree with regular pruning.
Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny spot — it adapts to almost any soil type including sandy and poor soils. Water regularly until established, then reduce to as needed. Prune in early spring to control size and shape, removing suckers at the base to keep the plant looking neat. Always wear gloves when handling and avoid burning any trimmings.
Place Oleander Red in a large floor pot on your sunny patio for a bold, striking focal point that blooms generously all season long.
Plant Oleander Red in garden beds or along fences and walls for a dramatic burst of vivid red blooms that lasts from spring through fall.
