Nerium oleander is a flowering shrub native to the Mediterranean region. It is known for its attractive, fragrant flowers that can be pink, white, or yellow. This plant thrives in warm climates and is often used in landscaping due to its drought resistance and ability to tolerate poor soil conditions. Despite its beauty, Nerium oleander is highly toxic if ingested. All parts of the plant contain compounds that can cause serious health issues in humans and animals. As a result, caution is advised when planting it in gardens, especially in areas accessible to pets and children.
