Nerium oleander - Oleander is well-loved because it’s fast-growing, has beautiful flowers, and can grow in a broad range of soils. It’s so easy to care for, that you’ll find it planted alongside highways and interstates throughout Florida, where it handles heat and car exhaust admirably.

It’s tolerant of sea spray and thus makes a colorful addition to the beachside landscape. There are even varieties with fragrant flowers. Oleander thrives throughout much of Florida, so gardeners across the state can enjoy this evergreen beauty.
