Do Oleanders grow well in a large pot?

Very happy in pots. Will have to prune to keep shape nice. Yes they are poisonous but if you don't suck the sap or burn the trimmings you won't die. You should always wash your hands after gardening, many plants are not really edible.





People tend to blow the danger of oleanders out of proportion, just don't eat them!

Be careful and wash hands after pruning or handling ALL parts of the oleander plant are extremely poisionious...A single berry off an oleander plant can literally kill A full grown horse if ingested..
Reply:Yes, they are highly toxic. They are still available in nurseries in Australia. Miniature varieties look nice in pots. Make sure you wash your hands after handling them.
Reply:They prefer being in the ground.
