About Pomegranate
Pomegranate is a drought-tolerant Mediterranean shrub that produces jewel-like fruit packed with antioxidants. Dwarf varieties grow beautifully in containers and overwinter indoors in cold climates.
Grow in the hottest spot in your garden — reflected heat from a south wall is ideal. Needs 120+ days of heat to ripen fruit. In cold zones, grow Wonderful or Nana dwarf in a 15+ gallon container and overwinter indoors in a cool bright room.
