I have a pink oleander planted outside?

it is still putting out blooms but all these long things are growing out and i opened it and it's full of seeds, do I plant them now and if so should i plant outside or inside?

those will not grow just trim them back when they get too big
Reply:You should be able to sow them indoors; they need to be kept warm (70-75F). Germination takes 30-90 days, so be patient! You can also sow them outdoors in the spring. It's good to remember that ALL parts of the oleander plant are HIGHLY toxic, so keep seeds and plants away from children and pets.

the first advise you got is closer to the truth. if you want another plant, buy one. growing from seed is almost impossible and even should you be lucky enough to get the seed to sprout, baby oleander from seed takes forever to get growing. if everything is perfect, 3 years from now you will have a 6 inch tall, single stemmed plant ready to put into the ground. 3 years... 6 inches. for $5.00 or less you can get a nice 1 to 2 foot tall, well rooted, multiple stemmed plant ready to go. 3 years from now it could reach 7 to 10 feet tall.


7 to 10 feet or 6 inches. which do you want in 3 years?
