About
The natural habitats of Yellow Oleander are in hot and arid regions, making it drought-resistant. It grows well in moist, fertile soil and exhibits slight frost tolerance. Its funnel-shaped corolla is like an upside-down wineglass, which is why the species is known as the Wineglass Flower in Chinese. Commonly found in Hong Kong, Yellow Oleander features a relatively long flowering period and bright, eye-catching blossoms. Its small size makes it a popular choice for garden landscaping.
