Bring a Mediterranean Touch to Your Garden with Oleander
If you’ve ever wandered through the sun-drenched streets of southern Europe and admired the bold, fragrant blooms of Oleander, you’ll be delighted to know that you can bring that same exotic beauty to your own outdoor space. These low-maintenance, sun-loving shrubs are perfect for UK gardens, thriving in pots on patios, in borders, or even as striking indoor plants in a conservatory.
Why Choose Oleander?
Oleanders offer vibrant colour, lush evergreen foliage, and an extended flowering season, making them an excellent investment for long-lasting garden appeal. Their sweetly scented, trumpet-like blooms appear in summer and persist through to autumn, creating a tropical, holiday feel in any setting.
Enjoy a cascade of blooms from early summer through to autumn. Oleanders are incredibly resilient once established, needing little water to thrive. Their glossy green leaves add interest all year round, even when not in bloom.
Whether in a container on a patio or planted in a sunny border, they make a real impact. Their nectar-rich flowers are a favourite with bees and butterflies.
How to Grow and Care for Oleander
While Oleanders are easy to grow, a little care will ensure they flourish and provide breathtaking displays for years.
Place in full sun for the most spectacular flowering. Water regularly in dry spells and feed with a balanced fertiliser for best results. Hardy down to around -5C, Oleanders benefit from being moved to a sheltered spot or conservatory in colder months.
To prune, trim back lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth.
Where to Use Oleander in Your Garden
Oleander is an incredibly versatile plant, making it a great choice for different areas of your outdoor space. Grow in pots for a Mediterranean-inspired terrace or balcony. Use Oleanders to create a stunning, flowering screen or backdrop. Keep in a warm, bright spot for a year-round tropical feel.
