Where to Plant
Parrotia persica should be planted in well-drained, moist soil, full sun to partial shade. They are good for woodland areas or a spot that is a bit protected and away from cold, drying winds. Parrotia also prefer a rich, fertile soil that does now dry out, so make sure you keep the Persian Ironwood well-watered.
