Dwarf Pomegranate Plant (Punica granatum ‘Nana’)

This dwarf version of the fruiting pomegranate is perfect for container gardeners. The small deciduous shrub has attractive, glossy green leaves and beautiful bright orange-red flowers that appear on the tips of its fine-leafed stems from early summer through fall. It flowers abundantly during the hot days of July and August. The small 2” fruits are edible and the fruit hangs on the plant for many months adding to its ornamental appeal. Plants can be maintained under 2’ in height and tolerate dryness and a restricted root system making it an excellent choice for bonsai culture.
