Description

» English Description

Herbert, 1837, Amaryllidaceae & Supplement, p.368: “A flower shaped like the Paeonia edulis var. rosea, red with about 350 petals”. This variety was also listed in The Floricultural Cabinet, 1837, p.172, as ‘Foliosa’ in the pale or light red group. Verschaffelt also illustrates it on pl.II, Book I, 1850, Nouvelle Iconographie and states: “This variety owes its name to the unusual size of the peripheral petals of its blossoms which resemble our full-bodied official peony. The blossoms, of bright cherry red, are 13 cm in diameter and somewhat irregular and are composed of a great number of petals”. Synonyms: ‘Amalthéa’, ‘Rouge’. Orthographic errors: ‘Foliosa’, ‘Foliosea’. Originated by Rev. Herbert, England.
