Nerium oleander 'Double Pink' Large Shrubs flattened needlesOleander, Nerium oleander, is a large, sun loving evergreen shrub of the Mediterranean, grown since antiquity for a long, generous summer of bloom. Dark green, leathery, lance shaped leaves ride in whorls of three along the long, sparingly branched stems, and from late spring well into fall the branch tips carry showy, lightly fragrant flower clusters. 'Double Pink' bears fully double, rose like flowers in a soft, warm pink. Few shrubs are so at home
