Best Landscaper® 'Cora Louise'
Originator: (Anderson, 1986)
Group: Itoh Hybrid
Bloom period: Midseason
Bloom week: 4
Flower form: Semi-double
Height: Semi-dwarf
USDA Zone: 3 to 8
Item number: 2935

Details:

Semi-double, large flower opens pure white with brilliant purple flares. Large outer petals surround several rows of segments that grade smaller toward the center of yellow stamens. The purple filaments with the stamen create a ring around the prominent, pale green carpels. Both flower form and substance are very satisfying. It is a charming flower with a mild fragrance. The bush has an excellent plant habit, it is vigorous and quick to increase. It is a dependable bloomer with ample color on an attractive, compact bush within a few years of planting. The blooms are carried near a canopy of the dark green foliage. The leaves are deeply cut, and the shape is reminiscent of their tree peony ancestry. Short, stiff stems hold the flowers upright and the bush holds its shape well against inclement weather events. This variety is an excellent choice for the flower border.

Presumed near infertility: "The Itoh Hybrids have for long been known to be highly infertile. Recently, chromosome count findings show they are triploids, reason enough for the observations. Any seeds from Itohs pollination by either triploids or tetraploids are expected to include a share of tetraploids, possibly fertile. Suggestion: pollinate by one or another of their parental Lutea Hybrids or a mix thereof. Expect rare success, requires patience, but persistence is how we got the present generation of Itohs."
