Growing Oleander in Sydney
Oleander performs best in a full-sun position with good drainage.
It is well suited to Sydney's climate and can be used as a feature shrub, planted along boundaries, incorporated into garden borders or grown in a large container.
Give the plant adequate space to develop and choose a position where it receives plenty of sunlight.
Sunlight
Full sun is ideal.
Good sunlight encourages vigorous growth and helps promote abundant flowering.
Watering
Water regularly while establishing.
Once established, Oleander is relatively drought tolerant, although additional watering during prolonged hot and dry periods can help maintain healthy growth and flowering.
Avoid consistently waterlogged soil.
Feeding
Feed with a quality flowering plant fertiliser during the active growing season to encourage healthy foliage and flowering.
Mulching around the root zone can help retain soil moisture, but keep mulch away from direct contact with the stem.
Pruning
Pruning can be used to maintain the desired shape and size and encourage fresh growth.
Remove dead, damaged or unwanted branches after flowering as required.
