Thevetia Peruviana seed
LATIN NAME: Thevetia peruviana
COMMON NAME: Yellow Oleander
The yellow oleander is the golden bell of the warm wall, and the fine, funnel-shaped flowers open in the loose clusters through the warm season. The small, evergreen tree or shrub carries the narrow, glossy, dark-green leaves and the fine, golden-yellow, funnel-shaped flowers with the five spreading lobes in the loose clusters through the warm season, one of the fine, bold sights of the warm garden. The whole plant is for the eyes only, not for eating or touching without the gloves. It is a shrub of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The yellow oleander is a bold subject of the plant science, and the golden bells keep showing up in the work on the warm ornamentals. The chemistry of the milky sap and the seeds, which carry the cardiac compounds of the old records, has been studied at length, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the warm shrubs, the cardiac plants and the members of the dogbane family. The narrow, glossy leaves and the fine, funnel-shaped flowers have also made it a fine study shrub, and the yellow oleander is a regular subject of the work on the golden bells of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The yellow oleander is a fine, bold shrub of the warm wall and the tropical garden. The fine, golden-yellow, funnel-shaped flowers with the five spreading lobes open through the warm season, one of the fine, bold sights of the warm garden, drawing the long-tongued moths of the evening, grown for the golden bells rather than for the table. The shrub is one of the fine choices for the warm wall, the coastal garden and the study collection, best kept out of the reach of the small hands. It has been written up in the horticultural and the botanical papers for the golden bells and the long season, and it is a fine, bold shrub of the open, sunny, deep, well-drained garden.
Keep the shrub in the warm, sheltered spot and cut out the old wood in the late winter.
To grow the yellow oleander from seed, sow the small, round seeds a centimetre down in pots of fine seed compost, keep the pots in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out after the last frosts. The seedlings are up within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun, the warmth and the deep, well-drained ground, the golden bells will open through the warm season.
