Persian Silk Tree Care: Folds Soft Pink Petals

As soon as it greens up in the springtime, this tree infuses elegance and whimsy wherever it’s planted. It’s often described as resembling a lace umbrella, and this airy canopy of finely dissected leaves adds graceful texture and movement wherever it’s planted. However, this plant doesn’t become a true stunner until summertime when it’s transformed by a cloud of breathtaking blooms.

Persian Silk Tree: A Dreamy Garden Escape

This tree is sometimes known as the “living fountain,” and it lives up to its name with ferny, soft foliage and an umbrella-shaped canopy of green leaves that filter the sunlight as it dances in the breeze. But the real showstopper is in the fluffy pink pom-poms of blossoms that burst from the tree’s canopy from mid-summer until fall. The flowers are somewhat lightly fragrant and hummingbirds and butterflies flock to them, creating a fragrant, peaceful oasis of living color that’s almost tropical in effect. There’s no denying the Persian Silk Tree is a one-of-a-kind shade tree that few other trees can rival in its special combination of elegance, color, and wildlife appeal.

Persian Silk Tree is also relatively easy to grow for gardeners of all skill levels. Not only is it a tough, fast-growing tree, but it also is remarkably adaptable to many soil conditions and is known for its resistance to drought, heat, and humidity. For these reasons and more, it’s one of the most popular trees for many southern and temperate gardeners. It’s an especially good option for someone who wants to make an instant impact in the landscape but doesn’t want to spend hours fussing over their trees each week or month. After it becomes established, this tree also tends to be drought tolerant and doesn’t require a lot of water.

Persian Silk Tree: Even Nighttime is Magical

In the nighttime hours, this tree’s leaves fold up, making it look as though it’s snoozing away or preparing to close up shop until the next day. This charming little habit gives the Persian Silk Tree an added dose of personality and whimsy that many other trees lack. The interesting branching also creates a naturally tiered effect that’s visually appealing in every season, not just when it’s in bloom.

Persian Silk Tree: A Living Work of Art

As a centerpiece in the front yard, as an avenue of stately shade trees down a long driveway, or as an elegant tree for a garden retreat, this is a tree that makes a statement. With its romantic canopy, intoxicating blooms, and lush, airy foliage, this tree is a source of wonder and fascination for anyone lucky enough to experience it. All homes should have at least one thing this graceful.
