    Our Oleander was early this year. We sold it at our Open Day five weeks ago. These photos were taken about six weeks ago.

        Typical! It was here when I moved in so no name here too. Shame, as I really like it.

            Shiney, you had a variegated double flowered Oleander. If I had known........:biggrin:

            My two Oleanders were planted out last Autumn and despite the mild Winter and warmish Spring , they are only just about starting to flower.

            Strongy, I did advertise it on the Open Garden thread :blue thumb: :noidea:. We'd had it for about five years and it was getting too big.

            It was snapped up just after we opened on the first day, for £15

            I have two that look similar - Rich Ruby and Red Garnet. I could send you plants, to grow alongside, to see if they are the same? :heehee:
