Notes
'Dwarf Red' pomegranate (Punica granatum 'Dwarf Red') is a shrub for borders, specimen plantings, hedges, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Red flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn, and they attract hummingbirds, bees, and birds. It is drought tolerant and grows 36 to 48 inches tall.
Pairs well with Society garlic, Artichoke, and Anemone.
