About Pomegranate Vegetable Seeds
Pomegranate Vegetable Seeds grow in full sun positions. Flowering runs summer. Harvest begins around 2 to 3 years from sowing. The figures below are the ones on the packets in this group; each product page carries the exact numbers for that variety.
When to plant
Plant in warm season. Start seed indoors and move the seedlings out once the danger of frost has passed. Soaking or nicking the seed coat before sowing speeds up and evens out germination. Hardy in zones 7 to 11 — your local frost dates decide the exact week.
Where to plant
Choose a site in full sun. Water needs are average, low once the plants are established. Free-draining soil matters more than rich soil; seed sown into ground that stays wet rots before it germinates. Allow 36 to 48 inches between plants so air can move between them.
How to plant
Sow 1/4 inch deep, spaced 36 to 48 inches apart. Water gently to settle the soil, then keep the surface evenly moist until seedlings or shoots appear. Indoor starts do best in warmth and bright light; harden the seedlings off over a week before planting out.
How to care
Keep watering average, low, at the base of the plant rather than over the leaves. In zones 7 to 11 these come back each year: let the foliage die down naturally after flowering, since that is what feeds next season's growth. Flowers appear summer; cutting or deadheading regularly keeps more coming. Expect to start harvesting around 2 to 3 years after sowing.
