Is anyone out there familiar with the new variety of exceptionally cold hardy nerium oleander named Hines Hardy ? It is reportedly cold hardy to zone 7a (0 fahrenheit). The leaves are described as slightly narrower and shorter than traditional oleander, and the flowers are deep red. At a local big box store I noticed yet another variety of nerium oleander also advertised as cold hardy to zone 7a. Its flowers were double petaled, pale pink and lightly fragrant. I've spent a fortune on oleander over the past 3 years, and too much of it has died. This sounds too good to be true. Oleander in Jersey? What's next, zone 8 citrus?
