Nerium Pink double - oleander
Such a toughie, with such a pretty face! Oleanders are ripper shrubs for really difficult garden situations - hot sun, dry soils, poor soils, seasonal rains, air pollution, humidity... you name it, they'll grow in it!
This more compact variety has double peach-pink flowers for an especially showy display.
Some people are afraid of them, believing them dangerous - they are perfectly safe if you don't eat them, don't burn the cuttings, and wash your hands after handling them. Good advice for almost any garden plant.
