The Hollander, commonly known as Oleander, is a Mediterranean powerhouse that offers an explosion of colorful, fragrant blooms even in the toughest, hottest conditions. It is incredibly heat and drought-resistant, making it an ideal “set and forget” shrub for sunny borders or seaside gardens where other plants might struggle. While it is a vigorous grower that provides excellent privacy, it is important to note that it is toxic if ingested; however, for the savvy gardener, its ability to thrive on neglect while producing spectacular flowers is virtually unmatched.
