Oleander Blossoms & Berries Coordinating Items Tie

Oleander (Nerium oleander), is gaining popularity as an evergreen landscape shrub, especially in shore areas. It is lovely, grows quite tall (approx 15 feet) and all parts of the plant are toxic – the sap is the most concentrated. One leaf might be enough to kill a child if ingested. Oleander is a member of the dogbane family and contains many toxic compounds with varying affects. Even dry the plant poses a risk, and it should not be burned as breathing in the smoke can cause trouble. Oleander is native to Africa and likes warm, dry climates.
