Can you help me with my oleander plant?
If you live in the North you will need to bring the oleander inside, as it is not hardy and will freeze. If you live in the South you don't need to do anything. You can prune it back after it blooms if you'd like to keep it in shape, otherwise it should be fine.
Reply:you don't need to do anything they are hardy plants and will do well just make sure it gets enough water


ooooh vermont you may need to wrap in burlap and put extra mulch at base


I am in TEXAS so don't have that problem

I will be putting up a page on my website this week on Oleanders and Hibiscus. I am not sure what climate zone you are in. If you get a frost, the best thing to do is prune back before the first frost. If you have already gotten a frost, you can still go ahead and prune back. The Oleander will die out in the winter months if you live in a climate that has temperatures below 40 degrees.





I recommend to my clients to prune and mulch around the Oleander. The autumn and spring are great months to add a little fertilizer to the plant. Add a slow six month nitrogen release around the base and water. This will help the Oleander to stay healthy.





I hope this has helped some and good luck to you. If you need any further suggestions, please feel free to contact me at the website. I will link you to my proper pruning page as well as my site map. The site map has every page that is on the website listed. Have a great day!
