{"title":"Oleanders","description":"\u003cp\u003eOleander is one of the toughest flowering shrubs for Australian conditions: evergreen, long flowering through the warm months, and unfazed by heat, drought, salt wind and poor soil. It is used for screens, driveways, rural boundaries and coastal gardens where little else flowers reliably. Every part of the plant is poisonous, so place it with care. Choose a dwarf form for low hedges and pots, or a tall variety for screening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose oleanders\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSize is the first decision.

They want full sun; in shade they grow leggy and flower poorly. They tolerate drought, heat reflected off paving and walls, salt-laden wind, and sandy, clay or alkaline soil. Established plants take frosts to about minus 5 degrees, with some tip burn, but struggle where winters are colder than that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSafety comes first with this plant. All parts of oleander are poisonous to people, pets and livestock if eaten, including leaves, flowers, sap and dried clippings. Do not plant it beside paddocks, in play areas, or where children or animals are likely to chew it. For related choices, see the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/drought-tolerant-plants\"\u003edrought tolerant plants\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/coastal-salt-tolerant-plants\"\u003ecoastal and salt tolerant plants\u003c\/a\u003e and the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hedging-screening\"\u003ehedging and screening\u003c\/a\u003e range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a screen, plant tall varieties 1.2m to 1.5m apart. For a low hedge of dwarf oleanders, 60cm to 80cm apart is right. As a single specimen, allow a tall variety at least 2.5m of width. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and no deeper, set the plant at the level it grew, backfill with the original soil and water in thoroughly. Oleanders do not need rich soil. In pots, use a tub of at least 40cm for a dwarf form and a free-draining mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater weekly through the first summer. After that, oleanders survive on rainfall in most districts, though a deep soak in long dry spells improves flowering. Feed once in spring with a general slow release fertiliser. Prune after the main flush of flowers, in late summer or autumn, cutting back by up to a third to keep the shrub dense; old, bare plants can be cut hard and will reshoot. Remove seed pods to prevent unwanted seedlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlways wear gloves and long sleeves when pruning, as the sap can irritate skin and eyes, and wash hands and tools afterwards. Never burn the prunings, because the smoke is toxic, and keep them away from stock and out of compost used on food gardens. Scale and aphids appear occasionally and are easily managed with horticultural oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs oleander poisonous?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. All parts of the plant are poisonous to people, pets and livestock if eaten, and the sap can irritate skin. Wear gloves when handling it and never burn the clippings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall do oleanders grow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTall varieties reach 3m to 4m.
