    Some people have thought that my oleander 'Hardy White' bushes were 'Island of Capri' oleander bushes. The differences may seem obvious to you, but 'Hardy White' and 'Island of Capri' do get mixed up sometimes. The #1 way to identify them is that 'Island of Capri's flowers have a yellowish-orange-colored center, and 'Hardy White's flowers are just plain white.
