'Petite Salmon' oleander (Nerium oleander 'Petite Salmon') is a shrub for borders, hedges, privacy screens, and containers. 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. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and the fragrant flowers attract butterflies. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. The evergreen leaves stay on all year.
