It was like this when I bought it Milky! Lots of tiny buds to come though!
How do you overwinter yours?

It looks like a dwarf form of Oleander. There's literally billions of this plant here in California; however, so many are dying from the blight, and there's no cure.

This is more likely to die of cold this winter as it'll be in the shed!

I would think Oleander should be very hardy there. It grows in coastal Denmark.

That does surprise me!

Do you get colder than coastal Denmark?
15 Jul, 2013
Probably not. It must depend to a certain extent on the breeding stock though?

That could be true.
I've never been to Denmark. I have seen photos of Oleanders growing along the coast from friends visiting Denmark. I was very surprised they were growing so far north.
I like the dwarf forms of Oleander. They are widely planted at shopping centers here. The large forms which grow to more than 30ft (10m) tall are difficult to keep small.
