This is one of the most well known Saunders woody peonies.\u00a0 It was given the Gold Medal by the American Peony\u00a0Society in 1983.\u00a0 ‘Chinese Dragon’ was often used by William Seidl as a pollen parent.\u00a0 It is in the lineage of several Seidl and Seidl\/Bremer advanced generation lutea hybrids including ‘Black Forest’, ‘Brassy Lady’, ‘Charon’, ‘Door County Sunset’, ‘Rosalind Elsie Franklin’, and ‘Sedona’. Its pollen was also used by Roger Anderson to create the intersectional ‘Watermelon Wine’.<\/span><\/p>\n

William Gratwick considered its foliage “one of the best, but hangs its heads in worst way” while Harry duPont called it a “purple” color and Silvia thought “strawberry and amethyst” a good phrase.\u00a0 How about just “dark pink”?<\/span><\/p>\n
