Notes
'Hardy Pink' oleander (Nerium oleander 'Hardy Pink') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, borders, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. It grows at a rapid pace and stays evergreen, so it screens year round. Fragrant blooms open in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit them.
Pairs well with Italian cypress, Society garlic, Mondo grass, and Strawberry tree.
