 o
where to plant oleanders

Posted by sherit22 8 Montgomery AL (My Page) on

I just purchased a few oleanders from a local nursery. The owner told me they were called Christmas Cheer, but I cannot find any information about such a variety. Is there such a variety and what are the characteristics? I want to make sure I don't plant them in a place where they will cause problems later. He said they are a dwarf variety and will only get 6-8 feet tall. Also, will I be able to take cuttings from these? He didn't have any more and I need to make a long hedge for a screen. Also, is this variety hardy here in central AL?
Great blog-Thx!

RE: where to plant oleanders

I have never heard of a variety by this common name. Get the scientific name including the variety name then your can search it of google. If this a grafted plant then any rooted stem, which can be done, may not run true. If it is grafted, there will be graft knuckle at or about the soil line.
