| Botanical Name | Nerium oleander 'Hardy Red' |
| Description | Widely considered the most cold-tolerant of the red oleanders, this variety is a champion for the Southeast Texas climate. It handles the "urban heat island" effect of the Houston metro area with ease and is highly salt-tolerant. While it adapts to various soils, it must have good drainage; in heavy clay, we recommend planting on a mound or in a raised bed. Note: All parts of the oleander plant are toxic if ingested. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Essential for heavy blooming) |
| Height x Width | 8-12 ft. Tall x 6-10 ft. Wide |
| Water | Low to moderate; exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, though supplemental water during Houston's driest summer weeks will keep it looking lush. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive leggy growth. |
| Pruning | Prune in late summer or early fall after the main blooming cycle has finished to maintain shape and size. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
