Oleander (Dwarf Pink)
Nerium oleander 'Petite Pink'Dwarf Pink Oleander is a refined, smaller-growing version of the classic oleander, offering the same lush evergreen foliage and long-lasting blooms in a more manageable size. From late spring through fall, clusters of soft pink flowers appear against narrow, glossy green leaves, delivering continuous color in sunny landscapes. Its dense, naturally rounded form makes it an excellent choice for low hedges, foundation plantings, containers, and poolside gardens.
Well-suited to warm climates, Dwarf Pink Oleander thrives in heat, sun, and challenging conditions where many shrubs struggle. It is highly tolerant of drought, coastal exposure, and urban pollution once established. While admired for its beauty and durability, it’s important to note that all parts of oleander are toxic if ingested, so placement should be considered carefully in family or pet-friendly spaces. When properly sited, this shrub offers dependable structure, color, and low-maintenance appeal year-round.
