7 Pink Oleander Cuttings - Drought-Tolerant Flowering Shrub, 6 Inch
Pink Oleander is a tough, evergreen shrub prized for its clusters of pink flowers and its ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions. With its leathery green leaves and long bloom season, it adds color and structure to sunny borders, hedges, and Mediterranean-style gardens. These 6-inch cuttings are ready to root and grow into vigorous, drought-tolerant plants.
Oleander is a versatile choice for warm-climate landscapes, tolerating heat, wind, and poor soil once established. Its dense growth habit makes it useful as a privacy screen or specimen shrub, and the pink blossoms attract pollinators. Note: all parts of oleander are toxic if ingested, so handle with care and keep away from children and pets.

Planting & Care
To root these cuttings, insert the cut end into a well-draining rooting medium such as a mix of perlite and peat moss. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light until roots form. Once rooted, transplant into a larger pot or garden bed after the last frost. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system; thereafter, oleander is quite drought-tolerant. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged growth.
