6 months. She ate 6 pomegranate seeds so each seed equaled a month.

Persephone stays with Hades in the Underworld for 6 months of the year.
Demeter's daughter Persephone had to spend 6 months of the year in Hades with her husband. When she was away Demeter was too sad to make crops grow.
Some believe that Persephone spent 9 months (Some believe 6 months) of the year living in the underworld with her husband, Hades, and the rest of the year with her mother, Demeter, in Olympus.There is some question about the amount of time she spent in Hades. As Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911 ("Persephone") expressed it, 'So it was arranged that she should spend two-thirds (according to later authors, one-half) of every year with her mother and the heavenly gods, and should pass the rest of the year with Hades beneath the earth."But some people say she would go to her lover.
Persephone spends 6 months of each year in the underworld because earlier, Hades kidnapped her. He eventually promised to return her, but then tricked her into eating six seeds from a pomegranate, thus forcing her to spend six months of each year with him in the underworld. The greeks use this to explain winter, because supposedly her mother, Demeter, becomes very sad when her daughter is taken from her, and refuses to let anything grow on the earth.
