Nerium oleander ‘Sister Agnes’
Nerium Oleander 'Sister Agnes', White Oleander is a classic, elegant selection that lights up the summer garden with its pure white, fragrant blossoms. It is often the largest and most vigorous of the common color forms, capable of becoming a substantial evergreen shrub or small tree. Its clean white flowers with yellow centers provide a cooling contrast to its dark green foliage and other brightly colored plants. Sharing the same legendary toughness as other oleanders, it is an outstanding choice for a tall, fragrant, and low-maintenance screen in the most demanding sunny locations.
