Has anyone succeeded in growing this in UK and over-wintering it,
keeping it alive for any length of time, perhaps in a pot? Or indeed
the large flowered one?

Not going to help, but the pomegranate I had on the go keeled over year
before last when I accidentally left it outside. :-(

Normally - last year being an exception, perhaps - I would think your
winters are harder than ours but it is helpful, thank you! Unless
we're able to follow Bob's example and find a really 'hot spot', we'd
have to trolley ours back indoors. -- S

Tbh, I would be surprised if our back garden was harsher than your place.
We've got an /incredibly/ hot sun-catching back garden, and the plants were
against a south facing wall, so should, in theory, have been ok. But i
think the 14" of snow had it in for a lot of things. Surprisingly, the
celery has survived.

It makes you sick.
When I was working with visually handicaped people I had a Nana
Pomegranate which was around 3 ft tall and was about 5 years old,
never had a flower.
Well I was visiting a client of around 80 yrs old and very low vision,
living in a flat. She had a great pomegranate of around 5ft, her grand
daughter had sown a few pips in a pot and they had grown. And it was
in flower.
