"Splendens Foliis Variegatis" ... it is a splendid name! This variegated, double-pink oleander is an unsurpassed old European cultivar, which was first mentioned in 1854 in Handbuch der Blumengärtnerei, by J.W. F. Bosse. At that time it was common to give latin names to horticoltural variety or cultivars, just like to species.
Nerium oleander SPF is probably the most popular variegarted oleander, with soft, pink double flowers: a marvelous robust plant with outstanding foliage. In the US it was spread with the name "Mrs. Runge".
