Oleander
By Potts

I would like to know if I plant oleander in large containers on my rooftop patio do they have to be brought in during winter?

I've had my oleander growing in a large pot in my courtyard for years with no problems whatsoever. Last winter I moved the pot but as it was less sheltered I bought a fleece cover for it just to be on the safe side. Even after all the snow it's still in great shape.

You shouldn't have to bring them in during the winter. Where I used to live in the centre of Spain they grew outside with no attention whatsoever - & we had temps much, much lower than we experience in England. The only thing would be to try to keep them pretty dry, I don't think they would be happy sitting in cold, soggy containers all winter!
