Nerium oleander, commonly called oleander, is an upright, rounded evergreen sub-tropical to tropical shrub that is valued for its abundant, fragrant, summer to fall flowers. Purple, pink or white five-petaled funnel-shaped flowers in clusters (terminal cymes). How to Plant: Always wear protective clothing and gloves when planting oleander to avoid direct contact. If planting in the ground, dig a hole at least twice as wide and deep as the root ball. Add compost to loosen the soil. Loosen roots in the ball, and put the plant into the ground so the root ball's top is flush with the ground. Place dirt back into the hole, and gently step on the soil to remove air pockets, then water. When to Plant: Plant oleander in cooler weather, such as in the spring or fall. Where to Plant: Give each plant adequate space, from 4 to 12 feet between plants. To grow oleander in containers, use large pots between 14 and 24 inches and make sure the containers have drainage holes. Discourage destructive caterpillar infestations by placing plants away from structures, such as fences, that encourage cocooning.
