FESTIVA MAXIMA, fes-ti'-va max'-i-ma. (Miellez, 1851.) 9.3.

Double type; very large; early. White, with prominent crimson flakes on a few central petals; fairly fragrant. Tall; very floriferous; stems usually strong. Foliage large, dark green.

Excellent for both garden decoration and cutting. The flowers are globular, with wide petals of heavy substance, loosely arranged, and last well when cut. An old, thoroughly tested variety whose merit is proved by its very great popularity.

"Does not last well when cut. Chicago market says it is a poor cut-flower."— Brand.

"Splashed, streaked, and edged with crimson. Usually flatfish rather than globular." Saunders.

"Stems good but not rigid by any means—rather spreading."—Little.

Buffa:


The variety Festiva Maxima was produced very early in the century. Its exact origin is in doubt. It is sometimes attributed to a Belgian amateur.

festiva maxima. [Paeonia albiflora Gefüllt blühende Sorten] Reinweiß

Blumenschmidt (1938)

Festiva Maxima, reinweiß. sehr gut

Kortmann (1998)

'Festiva Maxima' (Miellez, Frankrijk, 1851) Bloemen wit met enkele kleine karmijnrode vlekjes, gevuld, aangenaam geurend, vroeg; hoogte 100 cm; bloemstengels matig stevig; vertakking matig tot goed. Deze wijdverbreide zeer oude cultivar is te vervangen door betere (bijv. 'Boule de Neige'), hetgeen niet wil zeggen, dat deze pioen niet meer is aan te bevelen. In 1996 werden in Aalsmeer hiervan maar liefst 64.000 bloemen aangevoerd. De houdbaarheid op water is goed, maar helaas is de plant Booytis gevoelig.

FESTIVA MAXIMA, Miellez (France), 1851, Paeonia lactiflora, An ancient variety with ongoing enormous popularity, thanks to her large bright white flowers with the very characteristic crimson flares on the most inner petals. Some sidebuds. Tall strong stems with dark green leaflets. For landscaping this variety needs support when the flowers mature. 'Festiva Maxima' has been around for over 150 years (!), and for a good reason...


FESTIVA MAXIMA, Miellez (Frankrijk), 1851, Paeonia lactiflora, Een zeer oude cultivar die nog altijd enorm populair is dankzij haar grote helderwitte bloemen met de karakteristieke rode tekening in het centrum. Enkele zijknoppen. Donkergroen gewas van behoorlijke hoogte waardoor in de tuin ondersteuning wel nodig is wanneer de bloemen uitgroeien. Een regelrechte topper van de oude stempel.
