About

Oleander has been widely introduced around the globe for ornamental purposes. In Hong Kong, the species is often planted in parks and gardens due to its exquisite and long blooming period, creating a picturesque urban landscape adorned with its seemingly endless, beautiful flowers. Oleander is low-maintenance, with few issues related to pests and diseases, low soil requirements, and excellent tolerance to dry and infertile soil. Its remarkable ability to withstand air pollutants, such as nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter makes it a popular choice for planting along roadsides and highways for greening and phytoremediation.
