Climbing Oleander

It isn't really an oleander, but is instead Strophanthus gratus and smells pretty good(sort of a rose fragrance).

Where did you get that beauty? Can I order one?

I like that too...

Loretta...

I bought it at a local nursery. A 3 gallon pot was $25. I put off buying it for a long time, but I kept going back.
The nursery has a huge one planted in the ground and all of the ones they sell came from it. How does one propagate this plant? Like an allamanda?

Susie-
Congrats!
I have one, too, but mine hasn't started blooming this year, yet...

These are also called poison dart plant, so be careful. The plant "juices" are poisonous.

If your flowers get pollinated, you'll get a huge mustache-looking pod thingy full of seeds.

I'll be careful! Maybe it would be easier from seeds. I hope it gets pollinated.

I need to quit looking at your posts Cala! My bank account just cant take anymore! Between you and Kell Im always saying just one more and Im done. Yea right LOL! I look forward to the next must have. :o)

I resisted this plant for two years. I finally gave in!

I can only dream of such will power!

It's beautiful, Suzie. I think I've killed two of them in the past couple of years. LOL

Oh no Ada, if you killed it, I don't stand a chance! I couldn't decide where I wanted to plant it, so I put it in a 15 gallon pot for now. Do they like sun? The nursery had them in the sunny stuff greenhouse, but not outside.

Susie-
Mine did best facing east...morning sun, and afternoon shade.

Glad I put it in a pot so I can move it! It's in all day sun right now. I will move it to the side that gets afternoon shade.

Gorgeous, Susie! Another one I've admired from afar.

It looks lovely tucked in with your E.E.'s and Calaldium.
