Planting & Care

Plant within four weeks of arrival in a location receiving full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Dig a hole matching the width of the root ball and position the plant at the same depth it was growing. Water deeply once weekly during the growing season, reducing frequency in cooler months and always avoiding waterlogged soil. Prune in early spring while wearing gloves to maintain shape and remove dead wood, then apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer to encourage abundant blooms. Note: All parts of oleander are toxic if ingested by humans and pets.
