Neriums 180MM

Nerium oleander assorted

I am Neriums. My family originated from Europe, Africa and Asia.

Habit Shrub - Long flowering window

Plant family Apocynaceae

I am characterised by prolific blooms in a range of colours which contrast beautifully with my lush green foliage. My fragrant blooms are clusters of bright trumpet shaped flowers in spring and summer. My dense habit suits me to screening and ornamental plantings. My mature size will typically be between 2 and 4 metres depending on the variety. I can be pruned back hard if required and am easily maintained at a range of sizes. Despite my lush appearance I am tough and hardy coping with hot dry conditions and salt laden air in coastal conditions.
