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.
