This ‘Ornamental Pomegranate’ forms a small deciduous tree that bears large striking double fiery red to orange flowers in abundance through summer and autumn. It makes a spectacular specimen plant for a hot spot in the garden or in a container on the patio.
Flore Pleno is a sterile cultivar of Pomegranate, so does not bear fruit. Due to this non fruiting, the bloom time is much, much longer!
Light prune current years growth late winter. Should grow quite fast to around 3x2m.
The Ornamental Pomegranate (or sub species) is believed to have originated in the area of East Iran to Northern India but has been cultivated around the Mediterranean for so long (several millennia) that its true native range is not accurately known. This Pomegranate does not bear fruit.
Also known as Noshi Shibare, or Double Flower Pomegranate.
