Punica granatum 'Flore Pleno' (Double Flowering Pomegranate)
Punica granatum 'Flore Pleno' is an ornamental variety of the pomegranate, valued for its stunning double, ruffled, scarlet-red flowers that bloom profusely from late spring to early summer. Unlike its fruit-bearing counterparts, this variety rarely produces edible fruit, focusing its energy on vibrant floral displays. It's well-suited to Australia's Mediterranean and temperate climates, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. 'Flore Pleno' is also drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for water-wise gardens and striking hedges. Hardy and easy to grow, it can reach up to 3-4 meters tall, with a naturally bushy, rounded habit.
