Olé Bicolor Red oleander brings vibrant color to gardens with difficult growing conditions. Its ruffled pink and white striped flowers arrive in the summertime. They are grouped in clusters atop elegantly thin stems and surrounded by fine evergreen foliage that provides year-round appeal. This whimsical habit looks best unpruned, which leaves you free to enjoy looking at your space. Note: like all oleanders, this plant is toxic if ingested and the sap may irritate skin.
Top reasons to grow OLÉ!™ Bicolor Red Oleander:
