Oleanders

Calypso produces large clear hot pink flowers in large clusters for an exceptionally long period in summer. This is considered by the experts to be the most popular cultivar in the US and deservedly so as Calypso has excellent vigor, exceptional cold hardiness, as well as flower power. This is a large growing variety that can reach 15-25' high. Drought tolerant, disease resistant, and reliable. Calypso is considered by many to be even more cold hardy than Hardy Red, making it suitable for landscapes as far north as zone 8B. Item# 348.

With all of the cold hardiness of Hardy Red, Hardy Pink Oleander is one of the cold hardiest pink flowering oleanders on the market.

The large bright red flowers are borne in clusters at the ends of the upright to arching stems of this easy evergreen shrub.

It may freeze to the ground in zone 7 although it is known to return from the roots. Item# 902.

Magnolia Willis Sealy, or Mont Blanc, produces fragrant, double white blossoms in profusion throughout summer.

Soft primrose yellow, fragrant double flowers are born in relatively large clusters that open over a long period. Mathilde Ferrier or Hardy Double Yellow Oleander is an old favorite and makes an excellent container specimen as well as being hardy enough to grow throughout zone 8 (see more info) and warmer regions. In mild winter climates this oleander often acts like large and vigorous growing shrub that can get large enough to be trained into a beautiful small evergreen tree. Item# 756.
