A well known shrub found throughout the southwest, the Oleander provides colorful, large clusters of red, white and pink blossoms nestled amid the glossy evergreen leaves. It is a hardy specimen requiring warm weather while withstanding the high heat of the desert and has a high tolerance for drought conditions. All parts of the plant are poisonous if eaten and care should be taken to keep leaves away from children and livestock. Some varieties will grow to twenty feet tall and can be pruned as a tree. The Spanish name used for this piece depicts it's ominous characteristics.
