Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Nerium oleander ‘Formosum’

Presumably a delicate, finely-formed flower but I have found no specific description of this variety. See Nerium oleander ‘Albo Pleno’ for more information on this plant.
