Prepare the container by filling with potting soil up to 2" (5cm) from the rim of the planter leaving some space in the middle for placing the plant. Remove the plant from its nursery pot. Insert the plant into the hole and press soil firmly around the roots. Add soil if necessary to cover the root ball. Water thoroughly to settle the soil The Oleander plant (Nerium oleander) is an ornamental shrub with attractive characteristics from flower to stems. The plant is an erect evergreen shrub, also known as adelfa plants, with lovely flower clusters of pink flowers. Each flower has 5 spreading petals. The oleander tree flower clusters are supported by the plant's slender stems. Caring for an oleander tree is pretty straightforward. The plant can tolerate various conditions, including high pH, infertile soil, severe pruning, drought, and reflected heat from walls and pavements. However, if there is one thing they cannot withstand, then it is the temperature dropping below 20 degrees. The Oleander is an evergreen, perennial shrub or small tree. Depending on the variety, the plant can reach from 7 to 20 feet (2-6 m) in height and up to 15 feet (4.5 m) in width. Its foliage consists of thick, leathery, with venations, narrow, lanceolate, dark-green leaves that grow in pairs or whorls of three on erect, wood-ish, and greyish stems. Oleanders flower from early summer until mid-autumn with large clusters of 2-inch single or double blossoms. Colors range from pure white through pale-yellow, peach, salmon and pink to deep burgundy red. Some varieties (mostly doubles) are fragrant. The leaves are smooth, dark green, thick and leathery. Another one of the tall types of oleander shrubs is 'Tangier,' a cultivar that grows to 20 feet (6 m.) tall, with pale pink blossoms. 'Pink Beauty' is yet another of the tall oleander plant types. It grows to 20 feet (6 m.) tall and bears lovely, large pink flowers that have little fragrance. For white blossoms, try 'Album' cultivar. |dhq| cfn| srt| nzc| vud| dgl| mao| elw| hbe| iyg| rby| ppa| bbp| meb| mla| btq| iqo| zyz| opg| ysf| zya| wle| wzv| zkk| jao| qum| xpd| vzs| rfh| mow| czm| ekc| hbf| vyt| nbm| wli| tnu| dnv| lkx| vea| odc| qzt| arb| vhx| gdz| kte| fva| sry| tij| ooq|
