About Parfianka
Parfianka produces glossy red fruit with soft, edible seeds and a balanced sweet-tart flavor. It is a favored fresh-eating cultivar because the arils are richly flavored without very hard seed texture.
Growing Parfianka Pomegranate
Parfianka is self-fruitful and benefits from a hot, sunny site. Harvest when the rind is fully colored and fruit is firm, and keep soil moisture even to reduce splitting.
