Nerium oleander ‘Splendens Versicolor’
A cultivar of Nerium oleander L. See Nerium oleander ‘Albo Pleno’ for more information on the species.
I haven’t found a specific description of this variety but it is probably similar to the variety ‘Tanglé’ figured in Paxton’s Magazine of Botany: ‘Flowers of a rich, crimsony sanguine hue, beautifully and various[ly] striped with white and pink like a Carnation, semi-double.’ [MB p.54/1844]. See Nerium oleander ‘Tanglé’.
