Nerium oleander (Oleander) is a large evergreen shrub or small tree suitable for warm and temperate climates. It has a good variety of flower colours, and has long shiny dark green leaves. The variegated variety has bi-colour leaves of green and yellow. Oleanders flower for most of the year, and are happiest in a full sun position. They will also tolerate coastal conditions. Once established they are very hardy. Care must be taken when handling all parts of this plant as it is toxic. Oleanders grow well in Sydney, where these photos were taken.
