Peony 'Chippewa' 24W21 18yo Lactiflora G3 (Murawska, 1943) (3-DB-R) Lactiflora Cultivar Peony, 36in.@ Maturity, RD tall, dark red double, red stems, sidebuds, visible stamens, midseason bloomer, Hardy to Zone 3-8, Garden G3 (SRC Wild) PLTD 2006.
Peony 'Chippewa' (Murawska, 1943) is a double, lactiflora cultivar: tall at ~40”, dark black red, velvety texture, some stamens visible, midseason bloomer, long red stems, side-buds, strong grower, good cut flower, needs support. Not offered in recent nursery catalogs. Bred by A.L. Murawska (1893-1968) River Grove, Illinois who has 42 peonies listed with APS. His focus was on lactiflora cultivars that not only did well at shows, but performed well in the garden: 'Moonstone' and 'Princess Margaret' are highly rated.
Does not do well in the rain. The long stems bend and flowers hit the ground.
