I bought an oleander in May 09 and it flowered beautifully. I covered the pot in bubblewrap and it overwintered in an unheated greenhouse (the winter of 2009/10!!!) This year it has flowered really well again but all the bottom leaves are dropping off leaving just a few leaves and flowers at the top. If I cut it down will new leaves and flowers develop for next year?
Thanks Lorrie. Useful suggestions. Extra insulation of the root zone is always useful, and I do always save sheets of bubble wrap for in case they come in useful. I know they don't look that nice, but if they keep the plant alive through a cold spell then it's worth it.
