Pomegranate ‘Wonderful’

‘Wonderful’ is an excellent source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. This sweet and tangy fruit is comprised of large compartments filled with soft seeds, delicious for juicing or eating fresh. With its gorgeous orange-red blossoms in the spring and golden yellow foliage in the fall, this plant offers seasonal interest, as well. ‘Wonderful’ is drought resistant, adaptable, and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. This pomegranate also grows well in containers, making it the perfect addition to your patio garden!

After frost has passed, plant your pomegranate in a location with full sun, protection from the wind, and well-drained soil. If your pomegranate is in a container in cooler climates (USDA Zone 7 or lower), be sure to move it into the garage or indoors during the winter months.
