    This plant is sometimes mistaken for Oleander (Nerium Oleander 'Hardy White'), but don't be mistaken. If you have a white flowered oleander shrub/tree, then one way you can tell whether it is 'Album Plenum' or 'Hardy White', is by the leaves. 'Hardy White's leaves are straight and long, but 'Album Plenum's leaves are skinny at the bottom, and fatter at the tips. And, its leaves aren't as long as 'Hardy White's.
