Nerium Ole!® Bicolor Red Oleander

A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs variety, Ole!® Bicolor Red Oleander brings bold color to sunny landscapes with clusters of ruffled blooms featuring vivid dark pink petals accented by striking white striping. The artistic bicolor flowers stand out against long, narrow evergreen foliage, creating a colorful display from summer through the growing season. Even when not in bloom, the fine textured evergreen leaves provide year round structure and ornamental appeal.

Blooming on new wood, Ole!® Bicolor Red delivers dependable seasonal color while thriving in conditions that challenge many flowering shrubs. Its more compact size makes it easier to incorporate into modern landscapes, where it performs beautifully in containers, flowering hedges, borders, mass plantings, and rock gardens. Pair it with lantana, salvias, agapanthus, ornamental grasses, and other heat loving ornamentals for a vibrant summer display.

Hardy in Zones 8 through 11, Ole!® Bicolor Red grows best in full sun and well drained soil. Plants mature to approximately 4 to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide with an upright habit and flexible stems. Once established, it tolerates heat, drought, and poor soils with ease. Avoid overwatering, as plants perform best in drier conditions. Caution: all parts of oleander are toxic if ingested, and sap may irritate skin.
