Oleanders look great but there is something you should know...before you put them in your backyard.
My friend is building a pool and she wanted to put the same flowers that her neighbors had to fill the space in the corners of her back yard. It turned out to be Oleanders. They are beautiful and very popular here in TEXAS but did you know that they are poisonous?
There is a legend that soldiers of Alexander The Great died overnight after they cooked meat on oleander sticks over campfire. So if you have pets or small children you should think twice.
I suggested a Peach tree instead. It blooms with beautiful flowers in spring and gives you nice peaches that will be fun for kids to watch them grow.
