Description
Punica 'Uniqa', the dwarf pomegranate with undeniable Mediterranean flair, turns even the smallest garden into a sun-drenched retreat. This charming dwarf delights with a long season of vibrant, funnel-shaped orange-red blooms that dance above its compact, rounded foliage. Punica granatum 'Uniqa' carries its colour with confidence from late spring through summer, providing a striking spectacle before the flowers gradually give way to miniature ornamental fruits. These tiny, non-edible pomegranates add a final flourish, extending interest well into autumn. Also known as Carthaginian apple or simply granada, Punica 'Uniqa' combines elegance with a playful twist, giving your outdoor space a touch of exotic warmth without overwhelming it.
With a manageable size of up to 40 cm tall and equally wide, Punica 'Uniqa' suits terraces, balconies, and small urban gardens as easily as it does Mediterranean-style borders or decorative containers. Preferring full sun or light shade and fertile, well-draining soil, this compact pomegranate plant is hardy down to -8ºC and offers effortless charm year after year. Punica 'Uniqa' thrives in almost any spot where a splash of colour and a hint of Southern romance are welcome. Its cheerful blooms, subtle autumn fruit, and neat growth make Punica granatum 'Uniqa' a delightful companion for any garden, bringing a sunlit, vibrant note wherever it is planted.
In many cultures, the pomegranate symbolises fertility and sacred feminine power, representing life, creation and abundance in its richest form.

Useful information
-
Soak the Punica 'Uniqa' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your "Pomegranate" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
