Punica granatum var. nana is a compact, deciduous dwarf shrub prized for its ornamental beauty, ease of cultivation, and miniature fruit. Commonly known as dwarf pomegranate, this small form of the pomegranate typically grows only 2–4 feet (60–120 cm) tall, making it ideal for container gardening, bonsai, and small landscape borders. It features glossy, narrow, dark-green leaves and produces an abundance of vivid orange-red, trumpet-shaped flowers from late spring through summer, often appearing continuously in warm climates. These showy blooms are followed by small, round decorative fruits that resemble miniature pomegranates and may persist on the plant for extended periods, adding seasonal interest. Punica granatum var. nana thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates heat and drought once established, and responds well to pruning, which helps maintain its dense, bushy form. Highly attractive to pollinators and admired for its long flowering period, this hardy plant is commonly used as a patio specimen, low hedge, or ornamental accent in gardens.
