All my oleanders survived the winter and are now laden with
healthy buds and shoots. 1 pink big mother bush and several
pink baby bushes, as well as 1 deep fuschia bush that I
bought 2 years ago from a nursery in Wilmington. I did not
cover them with leaves, but they sit in good rich dirt
(topsoil spiked with seasoned chicken "stuff"), and lots of
sun. I do not have white oleander and would like to trade
a gallon-pot of pink oleander for one. I don't know if a
certain variety is tougher than others. My deep fuschia is
a dwarf variety while the pink ones are tall, and both are
doing well in Morrisville.

We have three white oleander bushes. It looks like only one survived
last winter's cold temps and ice. Covered them up good with leaves,
but it appears two are goners. The third one is just now starting to
send out small shoots. Are there varieties of oleander that are
tougher than others?
