Nerium oleander, Turner’s flirt, is a petite, compact oleander with many vivid, lightly fragrant dark-pink blooms that even flower well in partial shade. Medium vigor, drought tolerant when established, and deer resistant. Sun loving and salt tolerant as well, this oleander is incredibly durable choice for mild winter climates as a hedge, windbreak, or privacy screen, with attractive, lance-shaped glossy green leaves. Shows high resistance to root rot, powdery mildew, and leaf spot. Please note that all parts of plant are toxic if eaten.
