Parrotia Persica ‘Bella’

A relatively new variety of ironwood with upright branches that hold widely serrated ovate leaves. These leaves are deep-purple when young and then mature to a rich green colour. The leaves also twist slightly, which adds further interest. A good form displaying good autumn colour. Attractive peeling bark on mature plants. Ht: 3-4m in 10 years. Sun or part shade. Best colour on acid soils.
