Nerium oleander Cerise

Common Name:
Cerise Oleander

Description:
Nerium oleander ‘Cerise’ is a hardy, fast-growing evergreen shrub known for its striking deep pink to cerise-coloured flowers that bloom from spring through autumn. The long, narrow, dark green leaves create a lush, dense canopy, making it ideal for screening, hedging, or feature planting. This tough and drought-tolerant plant thrives in well-drained soils and full sun, withstanding coastal conditions, heat, and poor soils. While beautiful, all parts of the oleander are highly toxic if ingested, so caution should be taken in gardens with pets and children.
