Oleander Calypso

Oleander 'Calypso'

Oleander Calypso is a striking evergreen shrub known for its profuse pink flowers and dense, glossy green foliage. Blooming from late spring through summer, and often into fall in warm regions, this variety delivers long-lasting color and a lush, tropical feel. The flowers are borne in clusters and stand out beautifully against the narrow, leathery leaves, making Calypso an excellent visual focal point.

This oleander variety is commonly used for hedges, privacy screens, and large landscape plantings due to its fast growth and tolerance of heat, sun, and coastal conditions. Oleander Calypso performs especially well in warm climates, where it remains evergreen year-round. Its durability and adaptability make it a popular choice for low-maintenance landscapes, roadways, and commercial plantings. When given space to grow, it forms a full, attractive shrub that provides both structure and vibrant seasonal color.
