Notes
'Petite Pink' oleander (Nerium oleander 'Petite Pink') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, and privacy screens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. Fragrant flowers open in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. This evergreen grows fast and handles drought and salt.
Pairs well with Arabian jasmine, Papyrus, Vetiver, and Camphor tree.
