Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This new dwarf Oleander produces loads of soft pink flowers atop compact plants that max out at about 4-5' high. Flowers are borne throughout the warmer months on this petite beauty. Dwarf Pink Ice is excellent anywhere a tough, low evergreen hedge or shrub is desired. Grow it in the garden or as a wonderful container plant.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.
