SOUVENIR DE LOUIS BIGOT. (Dessert, 1913.) 9.1. Double type; large; midseason. Vivid rose-pink, brightening to shell-pink in the center, all petals slightly lighter at the edges; mildly fragrant. Medium height; floriferous; strong stems. Good foliage.

Close to the Walter Faxon color group in that it has no trace of the mauve and old-rose shades which are characteristic of many pink varieties. It is one of the cleanest and brightest colored peonies grown.

"Possessing a shade desirable in peonies."—Christman.

"A real treasure. Its effect in the garden is nothing short of gorgeous."— Mrs. Edward Harding.

"One of the most attractive peonies I have ever seen."—Boyd.

Kortmann (1998)

'Souvenir de Louis Bigot' (Dessert, Frankrijk, 1913) Bloemen levendig bengaalsroze, zilverachtig tot zalmkleurig verbloeiend, gevuld, geurend, middelvroeg; bladeren gaaf, hoogte 80 cm; bloemstengels stevig; vertakking redelijk. Dit is een opvallende cultivar met een zuiverroze bloemkleur. De plant bloeit rijk en geurt aangenaam. Vooral door de geringe hoogte is deze pioen aan te bevelen voor de tuin.
