Nerium oleander, commonly known as oleander, is an ornamental shrub valued for its beautiful, fragrant flowers and ability to thrive in various conditions. While it is often used in landscaping for its aesthetic appeal, it is important to note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. Despite its toxicity, oleander has been studied for potential medicinal benefits, including its use in traditional remedies for various ailments. The plant's extracts have shown promise in cancer research and as a natural pesticide. Additionally, its drought resistance makes it a sustainable choice for xeriscaping and low-water gardens.
