Description

» English Description

Berlèse,. 1843, Iconographie, vol.3, pl.264: The flower is over 10 cm across, full, cherry red, touched with vivid rose, particularly at the centre. The petals are numerous, rounded, finger-like, notched at the apex, veined with red. The flower is sometimes perfectly regular, sometimes irregular. In the first case the petals are imbricated without order but some­what loosely; in the second case the first 5 rows are imbricated, while those of the centre are las­cinated and form a peony centre. Originated as a seedling in Italy by M. Mariani. See also Verschaffelt, 1850, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book II, pl.III. Synonyms: ‘Mazeppa Superba’, ‘Mazeppa Vera’, ‘Mazzeppa Vera’. Orthographic error: ‘Mazzeppa’.
