Discover the captivating allure of Thevetia peruviana, commonly known as Yellow Oleander or Luckynut, a versatile tropical evergreen shrub that can transform any landscape. Reaching up to 25 feet, this bushy plant boasts slender, willow-like leaves with rolled-under edges, providing a lush green backdrop to its stunning clusters of funnel-shaped flowers. With blooms in vibrant shades of yellow, this eye-catching plant brightens any space, from sprawling gardens to cozy planters. Ideal for desert and low-water usage landscapes, Yellow Oleander loves full sun and is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11.

Aside from its ornamental value, Yellow Oleander is easy to grow, tolerating poor soils and resisting harsh conditions. However, caution must be exercised, as all parts of the plant are toxic, containing the potent cardiac glycoside, thevetin, especially dangerous within its seeds. Despite its toxicity, the plant has intriguing features; its ripe reddish-black fruit is reputed as a good luck charm, and its seeds have been explored for biological pest control. Introduced worldwide from Mexico to South America, it remains a symbol of tropical elegance, requiring careful handling and strategic placement to safely beautify your space.
