Description: Pomegranate as know as Punica granatum is a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub in the family Lythraceae, subfamily Punicoideae, that grows between 5 and 10 m (16 and 33 ft) tall.Dried pomegranate seeds, found in some natural specialty food markets, still contain some residual water, maintaining a natural sweet and tart flavor. Dried seeds can be used in several culinary applications, such as trail mix, granola bars, or as a topping for salad, yogurt, or ice cream. Germinating Pomegranate seeds:Seeds will germinate in just about any common potting medium as long as the seeds are kept moist and warm after sowing. Sow the seeds about ½ to 1 inch (1.5 cm) deep.Warm temperatures around 75 to 85°F are important for germination. Heat should be second on your pomegranate seed care list. These seeds will germinate at normal room temperature in about 30-40 days. Try surrounding your plant with foil and placing it in direct sun until the seedlings sprout. There is another method that should be mentioned when describing how to plant a pomegranate seed. It's called the baggie method. Some gardeners swear by this method for growing pomegranate from seeds. Wet a coffee filter and wring out the excess water. Sprinkle the cleaned seed on one quarter of the filter. Carefully fold the filter into quarters and slide it into a sealable plastic bag. Store in a warm place and check the bag every few days for germination.Once the pomegranate seeds sprout, transfer them to a pot. Use any small container that has good drainage and plant two to three seeds per pot. You can pinch off the weaker seedlings after they are a few weeks old or transplant them to their own pot. 4.99$ / 1 pack of 30 seeds
