Description

Nerium oleander ‘Single Red’, Single Red Oleander is a quintessential Mediterranean shrub that brings a vibrant, long-lasting display of color and fragrance to the hottest, driest parts of the garden. It blooms profusely throughout the summer and into fall with clusters of rich, non-fading red flowers that stand out against its dense, dark green foliage. Exceptionally fast-growing, drought-tolerant, and salt-resistant, it forms an excellent, robust screen or windbreak for coastal or highway plantings. All parts of this plant are highly toxic if ingested, requiring careful placement away from children and pets.

• Profuse & Long-Lasting Red Blooms: Produces abundant clusters of vivid red, funnel-shaped flowers from late spring through fall, with minimal fading.

• Extreme Heat & Drought Tolerance: Thrives in intense heat, full sun, and poor, dry soils once established, making it ideal for water-wise landscapes.

• Fast-Growing, Dense Screen: Grows quickly into a large, dense, upright shrub (6-8 ft tall, 4-12 ft wide), perfect for creating a privacy hedge or visual barrier.

• Exceptional Coastal Hardiness: Highly tolerant of salt spray, wind, and reflected heat, a top choice for challenging seaside or urban conditions.

• Deer Resistant & Low Maintenance: Avoided by deer and requires little care beyond occasional pruning to shape or remove spent flower clusters.

• Important Caution: All parts of the plant are extremely poisonous if ingested. Avoid planting in areas accessible to children or grazing animals. Do not burn trimmings.
