Select Persian Ironwood

Parrotia

Parrotia persica ‘Select’   

Named after F. W. Parrot, who made the first ascent of Mt. Ararat in 1829, this low branched, round headed, deciduous Persian native has tremendous landscape value. In spring, the silver, green and cream-colored smooth bark is complemented by lustrous green foliage, trimmed with purple margins, and in autumn it is highlighted by exquisite gold, rosy pink and crimson tones. Later, showy red stamens and wooly brown bracts create a reddish haze around bare limbs, making a virtual carousel of color and texture.

Pest free Persian Ironwood prefers well drained soil and detests both overly wet or dry conditions. Grows moderately. 10´ in 6–8 yrs. Medium Band.

Blooms March.

Size: 15'–35' high x 15'–30' wide; hardy to zone 5.
