Discover ¡Olé!® Bicolor Red Oleander, the shrub that strolls into the garden like a flamenco dancer—bright, dramatic, and impossible to ignore. Its ruffled blooms swirl with deep red petals streaked in crisp white, creating a bicolor display that looks hand-painted by nature. Add in a sweet, noticeable fragrance, and you've got a blooming powerhouse that brings excitement from spring through frost.
This compact, evergreen shrub thrives in the sunniest, hottest, driest corners of the yard—places where more delicate plants wave the white flag. Its glossy, narrow green foliage stays lush year-round, forming a naturally tidy shape perfect for borders, foundation plantings, poolside accents, and warm-climate gardens. The vigorous blooming habit ensures color nearly nonstop, and its strong heat and drought tolerance make it a favorite for low-maintenance landscapes.
And resilience? ¡Olé!® Bicolor Red Oleander excels there too. With outstanding deer resistance and exceptional toughness, it's a go-to choice for gardeners who want showy blooms without fuss. This oleander delivers bold color, tropical presence, and reliable performance that's nothing short of garden drama—in the best possible way.

¡OLÉ!® BICOLOR OLEANDER Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips
- Recommended Soil:
- Prefers well-drained soil with moderate fertility.
- Tolerates sandy, rocky, and nutrient-poor soils commonly found in warm climates.
- Avoid consistently wet or waterlogged areas to prevent root issues.
- Sun Exposure:
- Requires full sun for maximum blooms and dense foliage.
- Handles intense heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for southern and coastal landscapes.
- Can tolerate very light shade but flowering diminishes.
- Irrigation Needs:
- Water regularly during the establishment phase.
- Once established, highly drought tolerant and suitable for low-water gardens.
- Occasional deep watering during extreme heat enhances blooming but is not required.
- Feeding & Nutrients:
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring for vigorous growth.
- Optional light feeding in mid-summer can extend bloom intensity.
- Mulch helps conserve soil moisture and maintain even temperatures.
- Pruning & Maintenance:
- Prune after major bloom cycles to maintain shape and encourage new flowering wood.
- Remove spent blooms periodically for a tidier appearance.
- All parts of Oleander are toxic if ingested— wear gloves when pruning and keep clippings away from children, pets and livestock.
- Minimal pest issues; deer generally avoid it.
Interesting Notes About ¡OLÉ!® BICOLOR OLEANDER
- Flamenco-Inspired Flair: The vivid red-and-white striped blooms are naturally bicolored, resembling swirling movement — a botanical nod to the spirited rhythms of flamenco.
- A Desert-Loving Diva: Oleanders originate from Mediterranean and arid regions, which explains their impressive heat and drought tolerance in modern landscapes.
- Deer Don't Dare: With naturally bitter, toxic foliage, Oleander is avoided by deer, making it a standout performer in areas plagued by browsing.
- Blooming Marathoner: Unlike many shrubs that bloom in short bursts, Oleander produces flowers over an incredibly long season, often from late spring through fall in warm zones.
- Fragrance With a Twist: Despite its rugged nature, its blooms carry a soft, sweet, gardenia-like fragrance — a surprising contrast to its tough-as-nails reputation.
