Austin Pretty Limits® Oleander. (Nerium oleander 'Austin Pretty Limits') Enjoy bright pink flowers every day of the year with Austin Pretty Limits oleander. This non-stop bloomer was selected in Austin, Texas, for its dense, rounded habit and exceptional disease resistance. The bright pink flowers make it the ideal choice for hedges, specimens, containers, and more. Oleander is typically grown in warmer zones. Along with other tropicals and succulents in Kansas, oleander is usually grown as summer patio plant. Water regularly and place in full sun. Protect from temperatures below 25 degrees F and move into a bright window, cold garage or basement over the winter with monthly watering. Do not allow the pot with rootball to freeze solid or go below 20 degrees F for more than a few hours. Allow to go dormant as needed with little care, just cut off dead foliage and place back out in April or May with a time-release fertilizer. Many plants will die back slowly inside but still remain attractive inside for most of the winter. You may also plant these in the ground for an enormous tropical effect! It is possible to overwinter these in the ground in Kansas by placing a giant 12-18" mound of mulch over plants and position on the South side of a house. Note: like all oleanders, this plant is toxic if ingested. All Proven Winners® plants are legally propagated, healthy and vigorous, true to name, and tagged with color pictures and growing information.
