Thevetia peruviana (Mexican Oleander)

The Thevetia peruviana, commonly known as Mexican Oleander, is an evergreen shrub or small tree that can reach a height of 6 to 25 feet and a width of 3 to 10 feet. This plant features glossy, lance-shaped leaves and produces beautiful yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers with a sweet fragrance. It is commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions and is known for its tolerance to drought and heat. However, all parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested, so caution should be taken when planting it in areas with children or pets.
