About Nerium / Oleander (Yellow, Single)

Nerium (Nerium oleander), from the Apocynaceae family and commonly called Kaner or Oleander, is an evergreen perennial shrub to small tree that blooms year-round. This single-flowered yellow variety grows tall initially before developing a showy, rounded shape, with clusters of light-fragrant yellow flowers.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: More than 6 hours of direct sunlight; blooming reduces in full shade.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
• Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry; tolerant of both drought and occasional waterlogging, but not prolonged frost.

Planting & Placement

Best grown in a medium-to-large pot or directly in the ground, where it can reach 2-6 metres in height. Often used for hedging, screening, and roadside or median planting due to its pollution tolerance.

Care

• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month, watered in immediately.
• Pruning: Regular pruning keeps the plant bushy and a manageable size; watch for mealybugs and treat with neem oil spray if needed.

Flowering

Blooms year-round in clusters of yellow flowers, peaking during summer.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant. Growth and bloom timing vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. EXTREMELY toxic if ingested - all parts of the plant, including sap, are poisonous to humans and pets and can be fatal. Handle with gloves; keep away from children and pets; never burn the plant material as smoke is also toxic.
