Peppy Le Pom Pomegranate is a creative solution to enjoying pomegranate blooms in cooler regions, or even indoors. Pomegranate trees and shrubs are as pretty as they are productive, so Peppy Le Pom was developed to give gardeners all the ornamental value of bright orange blooms in a dwarf plant. Although Peppy Le Pom bears no fruit, it's a versatile little shrub and a pretty choice for a border, large container, or just as a bright focal spot in the landscape.
Because Peppy Le Pom Pomegranate is about a fourth the size of other pomegranate shrubs, it has plenty of uses in the garden. The small size also makes it an indoor/outdoor choice for regions that are cooler than zone 7, the coldest area where Peppy Le Pom can live outside all winter. You can grow it in a container and let it enjoy summer heat but stay safely tucked inside during cold months. Outdoors in warm zones (7 through 10), this little pomegranate blooms all summer and stays evergreen in winter.
Peppy Le Pom Pomegranate Care
Grow Peppy Le Pom Pomegranate in full sun for full growth and flowering. The shrub needs average water, and a little extra in its first year of growth or when planted in a container. Prune lightly in spring, avoiding cutting into any of the thick, woody stems. You can prune it into a topiary shape if you like. Don't worry if leaves drop when the plant is moved indoors; it is just adjusting to new conditions.
Peppy Le Pom Pomegranate Spacing
For a hedge full of bright orange tubular flowers, plant several Peppy Le Pom Pomegranate shrubs in a row. Space the young plants 3 feet apart from one center to another to account for their full size later.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
