Pruning double pink oleander — FAQ
When should I prune double pink oleander?
Late summer to early autumn after the main flowering flush. Wearing gloves and eye protection, cut flowering stems back by one-third to a side shoot or leaf node. Remove any dead, crossing, or inward-facing branches. Do not compost trimmings — dispose of as green waste due to toxicity.
How often does double pink oleander need pruning?
Annually after flowering; light tidying as needed through the season. Double Pink Oleander is a vigorous shrub that responds well to pruning. Prune to maintain size, remove spent flower clusters, and encourage new flowering wood. Always wear gloves and eye protection — all parts are highly toxic. Cut back stems by up to one-third after the main summer bloom. Avoid cutting into very old, thick wood.
