LUDOVICA (Saunders, 1941) - Semi-Double - Pink - Hybrid. Very large-semi-double clear rose pink, with prettily rounded petals. Albiflora x lobata. Lists in Bulletins 91 and 129. Saunders 1955 catalog.

Ludovica (1941) Charmingly feminine, with prettily furled light rose-colored petals. . [Albiflora x lobata - the great race of „lobata hybrids“ This group contains many beautiful pink and red tones so long desired in the Chinese peonies; salmon, coral, rose and deep cherry pinks, to clear bright crimsons, with no hint of purple and never a bad color in all the hundreds that have bloomed. I think this is the most brilliant and e effective strain of herbaceous hybrids yet produced. . Their season is generally M. They set hardly any seed, but their F2's may be interesting. About a dozen reds, and almost thirty pinks have been introduced, many of them so similar to one another that I have now tried to sort them roughly into color groups. The pinks especially, fade off as the flower ages , into pale peach shades, so that a mature plant will have flowers of many differing tones, but all harmonious [..] are single except when otherwise noted. Shades of rose

LUDOVICA A gorgeous soft rose pink flower, which has two rows of petals. The flower is quite large and open, but because of its petal formation remains a graceful bloom. A low growing bush with dark green foliage making it an ideal plant for the front of the border. Pink Semi double, Early, No staking 85cm.
