Crimson Sky™ Pomegranate
Punica granatum 'Crimson Sky'™
A compact pomegranate shrub with an unusually long and lovely season of blooms! Crimson Sky™ is a new cultivar from the Nikita Botanic Garden in Ukraine and is unusually cold-hardy. The large red blooms begin in early summer and continue for months, while the orange-red fruit ripens in late autumn and is heavily borne. Prefers plenty of summer heat.
Pomegranates' bright foliage and beautiful orange flowers make them a stunning landscape plant - plus a reliable, early fruiter in the warm regions of the South, Southwest, and in California. They grow well in the Pacific Northwest but don’t get the intense summer heat they need to ripen. Growing them as a multi-stemmed bush in a pot and bringing them inside to finish ripening in the fall can extend their productive range.
