Oleander

This old fashioned plant is very familiar to Queenslanders, although its well-known poisonous qualities have undoubtedly deterred many people from planting this tough shrub.

With ever-stricter watering restrictions, however, it might be time to reconsider Oleander, especially in landscaping situations where children or livestock are unlikely to come into contact with the plant.

Where to buy Oleander plants

Most garden centres in areas where oleander grows are likely to carry one or two types. However, if you're seeking a greater choice of colours or bulk quanities for hedging (for example), you may to seek out an alternative supplier.

If you can't find them in your local nursery, or would prefer to buy online, try:
National Tropical Plants
