Notes

'OLÉ! Bicolor Red' oleander (Nerium oleander 'OLÉ! Bicolor Red') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Fragrant blooms appear in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit them.

Pairs well with Mondo grass, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Red spider lily, and Stonecrop.
