  Oleander (Nerium oleander) is a robust, evergreen shrub or small tree renowned for its lush, dark green foliage and showy, fragrant flowers. Native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia, Oleander produces clusters of large, trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant shades of pink, red, white, yellow, and salmon. Blooming from late spring through fall, its long-lasting flowers add bold color to warm-climate gardens and are highly attractive to pollinators like butterflies. Oleander typically grows between 6 to 20 feet tall and 6 to 10 feet wide, depending on the variety and growing conditions. This plant thrives in full sun and is hardy in USDA zones 8-11. Known for its adaptability, Oleander tolerates a variety of soils, from sandy to loamy, as long as they are well-draining. It is also highly drought-tolerant and salt-tolerant once established, making it ideal for coastal areas, xeriscape gardens, or other low-water landscapes. Low-maintenance and easy to grow, Oleander requires occasional pruning to maintain shape and encourage new blooms, usually done in late winter or early spring. However, it’s important to handle this plant with care, as all parts of the oleander are toxic if ingested. Despite this toxicity, Oleander’s resilience, lush appearance, and profuse flowering make it a popular choice for creating colorful hedges, privacy screens, or dramatic focal points in warm-climate gardens. Its bold blooms and easy-care nature lend an exotic feel to a variety of landscape settings.

  Azalea (Rhododendron spp.) is a popular flowering shrub known for its stunning, trumpet-shaped blooms and lush foliage. Belonging to the Rhododendron genus, Azaleas bring vibrant color to landscapes in early spring, with some varieties blooming again in summer and fall. Available in a variety of colors including shades of pink, red, purple, white, and orange, Azaleas create a striking visual impact in gardens and are a favorite for foundation plantings, borders, and woodland gardens. Azaleas range in size from compact, low-growing varieties (around 2-3 feet) to larger shrubs reaching up to 6-10 feet, depending on the species and cultivar. These shrubs thrive in partial shade to filtered sun, especially in hot climates, and prefer well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter. They are generally hardy in USDA zones 6-9, though some cold-tolerant varieties can grow in zone 5. Azaleas are relatively low-maintenance but benefit from occasional pruning after their main bloom cycle to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, as Azaleas have shallow roots that can dry out quickly. Mulching around the base helps retain soil moisture and maintain an acidic pH. With their vibrant flowers, glossy green foliage, and adaptability, Azaleas are ideal for adding a splash of color and elegance to shaded gardens, foundation plantings, and naturalized areas. Their versatility and beauty make them a timeless choice for landscapes ranging from traditional to informal.
