Oleanders thrive in subtropical coastal areas.
And if given moderate care, oleanders can provide years of color to low-maintenance landscapes. There is a small catch, though. But where they thrive, they flourish. Oleanders are profuse bloomers, with abundant flowers on terminal cymes in white, weak yellow, salmon, red, cardinal red, pink, hot pink and purple-red, in singles and doubles. More than 400 varieties have been introduced.
