Noteworthy Characteristics
'Petite Salmon' is a small growing Oleander that reaches only up to 6 feet tall but can easily be kept around 3 feet with moderate pruning. Throughout the warm season it produces abundant clusters of very pretty, soft salmon-peach flower clusters on new growth. Narrow, leathery, semi-glossy, dark green leaves are attractive in all seasons.
Uses
Calypso Oleander makes an excellent informal flowering hedge and is also useful as colorful specimen shrub or in groupings in smaller spaces. Where not winter hardy, it can be used outdoors as a container plant that can be overwintered indoors or in a greenhouse when low temperatures drop below 40 degrees.
