I can see why you would want it. Just beautiful as are all or most of the oleanders.

Do these grow as trees as well? I have seen some white ones with similar flowers.

Also I thought Oleander have almost Matt texture leaves and not so bright green as this.

I am a bit concerned planting these given how poisonous these seem to be.
