The oleander is a plant with dazzling flowers. But one very common mistake could prevent it from blooming in your garden this summer
Summer is fast approaching, transforming gardens into havens of beauty and colour. This is the season when many plants come into full bloom, creating beautiful spaces.Among these wonders, the oleander stands out for its abundant, bright flowers.
A sheltered spot, such as against a south-facing wall, is ideal. Oleander can also be grown in pots, which makes it easier to protect over winter.In the open ground, mulching at the base of the plant helps to protect the roots from the winter cold. These precautions help prevent frost damage and ensure healthy growth in spring.When temperatures fall below zero, the water in the plant's cells freezes, causing the cell walls to rupture. This can cause severe damage to the plant.
An oleander damaged by frost may also show stunted growth in spring. Parts affected by frost may die, requiring pruning to remove dead branches and stimulate new growth. For oleanders in the ground, it's essential to use a winter veil to cover the plant. This light, breathable fabric provides protection from the cold while allowing light through. You can also apply a thick mulch at the base of the plant to protect the roots from the cold.
