Description

» English Description

Gerbing Azalea Garden Catalogue, 1938-1939: Very large, brilliant red flowers of peony form, golden stamens among inner, twisted petals, flower appears to be four or five in one. A dazzling red that takes first place in any garden where it is in bloom. Dark green foliage. Slow, bushy growth. It came from a plant on the old Stevens plantation at Madi­son, Florida. Magnolia Gardens claim that this may have been a seedling or an old variety renamed by Rev. Drayton. It is not the same as Emperor or Empereur de Russie although the name ‘Emperor’ has invalidly been applied to it. Synonyms: ‘Stevens’, ‘Steven’s Plant’. Sport: Emperor of Russia Variegated. See colour photos: American Camellia Yearbook, 1949, facing p.14, and p.85, Macoboy, 1981, The Colour Dictionary of Camellias. Orthographic error: ‘Emperor of Russion’.
