Description

Transform your patio with these stunning, fragrant blooms.

Oleanders are among the UK�s favourite exotic plants, and it is easy to see why. Surprisingly straightforward to grow, they can thrive beautifully here in the UK when given the right position.

Their boldly coloured, sweetly scented flowers stand out wonderfully against rich green foliage, creating a striking Mediterranean-style display.

Oleanders love hot, dry weather, yet they can also tolerate temperatures down to around -5C. Compact, evergreen and relatively low maintenance, these impressive plants become covered in flowers from May to September, bringing months of summer colour.

This is a wonderful opportunity to grow something genuinely special. These plants are a real rarity, so order while stocks remain available.

Supplied as a set of three Oleander plants in 15cm pots, you get one each of pink, red and white flowering varieties. These Mediterranean beauties will add height, vivid colour and sweet fragrance to your garden for years to come!

Important: Contact with oleander foliage and its sap may irritate the skin. All parts of the Oleander plant are toxic if ingested.

Care Information

Water freely in summer and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two weeks until June. Then switch to high potassium fertiliser, using it until the flower buds show colour.
In winter, stop feeding, reduce the watering, (keep plants on the dry side).
Flowering occurs in late summer (July to October) on new shoots of the current season�s growth, so prune in late winter or early spring.
Remove all thin crowded shoots and tip-prune young plants. Cut flowered shoots by half and the side shoots to 10cm.
