Oleander flowers are showy, profuse, and often which makes them very attractive in many contexts. They are often, but not always, sweet-scented. Flower color can include reds, pinks and whites. The foliage is thick and leathery.

Oleander is often used as a houseplant or patio plant. It can also be grown outdoors without protection in North American cities in the Pacific Northwest like Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver. Plants may suffer damage or die back in such marginal climates during severe winter cold, but will rebound from the roots.

In cold winter climates, oleander is a popular summer potted plant. Oleander is an ideal flowering shrub for patios and other spaces with hot sunshine. During the winter they should be moved indoors, ideally into an unheated greenhouse or basement where they can be allowed to go dormant. Once they are dormant they require little light and only occasional watering.

Nerium oleander is toxic in all its parts. Ornamental use only.
