'Peppy Le Pom' pomegranate (Punica granatum 'Peppy Le Pom') is a shrub for borders, hedges, specimen planting, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It is drought tolerant and grows at a moderate pace with many stems. Bees, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms.
