THIS EASY GROWING TROPICAL BEAUTY OFFERS UP AN ABUNDANCE OF VIBRANT, FRAGRANT BLOOMS
Many gardeners consider the Nerium Oleander ‘Calypso’ the easiest oleander to grow. Often used as an ornamental shrub, its blanket of blooms is offset by dark green leaves. When planted in a row, the Calypso makes a flowering privacy screen that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
Incredibly hardy, the Calypso resists drought and extreme heat and keeps blooming summer through fall. It can even survive cold down to 20 degrees. Oleanders grow best in full sun, and can grow to 8 to 15 feet tall, and nearly as wide. Make sure to give these plants plenty of space to grow into.
Be aware the Oleander is considered to be incredibly poisonous. Factor this into your plans if your yard is frequented by small children.

My plant is the Oleander bush rather than the tree pictured here. The plant arrived in great condition, looking very healthy. I like the instructions you sent about the immediate plant care after unpacking it. Hoping to plant my bush into a large container in another week , weather permitting. The customer service has been great.

I was quite skeptical about purchasing plants on-line, so this was my first experience. I have been delighted with the whole experience. My plants arrived in beautiful condition, despite the fact that they were shipped from Florida to New Mexico. The staff at PlantVine were very helpful and well informed. I followed the instructions and planted them shortly after receiving them. They are doing beautifully! They have already flowered and put on new growth! Thank you for such an awesome experience!

Large Calypso oleander bush was packed extremely well, and looked fine after its trip from FL to TN. Thanks.

If you add the terra-cotta pot for $60 will it come already planted in that pot?
