Punica granatum ‘Nana’ – Dwarf Pomegranate (6″ pot)

Description A smaller variety of pomegranate best suited to ornamental use. The leaves of this plant are small and glossy, about an inch in length. Bright red-orange flowers, about 1.5″ across, bloom through the summer. They are followed in the fall by round red fruits, up to 2″ in diameter. Flowers and fruits attract birds.
