Peony ‘Miss America’ – The Award-Winning Beauty
Are you looking for a peony that truly has it all? ‘Miss America’ is an absolute legend in the peony world. As a two-time winner of the prestigious APS Gold Medal (1956 & 1971), she belongs to the absolute top tier. This variety is renowned for its elegant, semi-double flowers and its iron-strong character, making it a favorite across every continent for nearly a century.
The spectacle of ‘Miss America’ begins with its early bloom. The buds show a hint of soft pink, but as soon as they open, they transform into a radiant, pure white color with a heart of golden-yellow stamens. A unique feature is that as the plant ages, the flowers become increasingly fuller and more richly filled. With its sturdy, dark foliage and delightful fragrance, she is a jewel for any garden.

Grower’s Tip: ‘Miss America’ is the ideal choice for those who love a natural, almost water-lily-like appearance. Thanks to its sturdy stems, it is an excellent cut flower, but it truly shines in the garden when given the space to let its dark foliage serve as a backdrop for the snow-white blooms.
