(Klehm, R '70)
30" ML
A single row of outer petals surrounds a tight domed cluster of slender, inner petals. The cerise rosy-red flower has loose, shiny petals that fade along the edges as they age. In between these sits a layer of yellow stamenoids that are tipped with red. Held on upright stems. Lots of side buds. Dark glossy leaves. Slight scent.
I ordered this peony from the hybridizer, Songsparrow Nursery, in 2011 and can hardly wait until it is a mature peony!

(Anderson, R '99)
Martha W. (seed parent) x Golden Era (pollen parent)
26-28" M
Large semi-double to double tricolor blooms of red, yellow and orange, giving the flowers a copper color look from a distance. Handsome dark green foliage supported by a sturdy well-shaped plant. Light beige buds. The flowers gradually fade changing from the orange red at the opening to a cream-colored at the end of flowering. The flower center keeps its brassy hues until the end.
Note: registered as Copper Kettle but commonly sold incorrectly labelled as Kopper Kettle.

(Auten, E '46)
Japanese/Anemone form
unknown parentage
32-36" M
Large blooms with soft orchid to shell pink smooth guard petals that surround the fluffy center of a reverse color contrast often much darker in pink, white and red-purple shades. Narrow centre petals look like strips of shredded coconut. Its lateral buds will extend the blooming season. The strong but delicate red stems contrast beautifully with its dark green foliage. No staking is needed. Vigorous. Very striking and very popular.
Awards: American Peony Society Gold Medal in 2004.
