Feeling sorry for her hard working husband Beth bought me a Oleander plant for my garden. Oleanders (Nerium oleander) are distinctive and beautiful
large, flowering shrubs that thrive with little care. They are very
heat- and drought-tolerant once established, and will grow especially
well in seaside gardens, tolerating salt spray and wind. Oleanders
generally grow best in the coastal areas of South Carolina.
Oleander is extremely poisonous. Eating even small amounts of any part
of the plant can kill. Children have been poisoned by using the twigs as
whistles. Contact with skin may cause irritation. Smoke from burning
cuttings can cause severe reactions.
I planted it far away from any possible dog contact!
