Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dwarf White Oleander is a compact growing oleander that produces loads of pure white blossoms in late spring and summer. This dwarf oleander typically grows to about 4' high and wide making it an excellent choice for container culture or as a tough and reliable low evergreen hedge. Dwarf is often a general term when it comes to Oleanders and most resources state that 'Dwarf' oleanders reach 4' high when in truth they can in time reach 5,6,7, or 8' with age depending on the cultivar and particularly in mild winter climates. Compared to their larger growing siblings that may reach 20'+ these are the dwarfs of the clan. Periodic selective pruning may be needed to keep these plants in the 4' range as they can get larger with age, time, and warm winters. Their smaller stature and compact habit lends them perfectly as a tough reliable low evergreen hedge as well as wonderful choices for containers.
