Dwarf Pomegranate 'Nana' – Exotic Colour for Compact Spaces

Punica granatum 'Nana', known as the dwarf pomegranate, is a compact deciduous shrub prized for its ornamental beauty and manageable size. This variety delivers a burst of exotic appeal, producing bright orange flowers that transform into miniature pomegranate fruits—making it a standout feature on patios, balconies, or small garden beds.

• Botanical Profile: Native to the Mediterranean region, Punica granatum 'Nana' typically grows up to 1m tall and wide. Its glossy green foliage turns yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest.
• Seasonal Interest: The plant’s long flowering period stretches from late spring through summer. Brilliant orange-red blooms attract pollinators and give way to small, ornamental fruits by late summer.
