Will my oleander need to come inside for the winter?

Our Advice:

Nerium oleander is only hardy to around -5C, so it will suffer from cold damage if we have a hard winter - it may even be killed. Move it inside or wrap the pot with 2-3 layers of bubble plastic to protect the roots and cover the tops with fleece if it gets very cold. You can hold the fleece in place with clothes pegs.
