Peony ‘Mother’s Choice’ – The Undisputed Perfection

Ask an expert about the most beautiful white peony, and chances are that 'Mother's Choice' will be at the top of the list. This prestigious APS Gold Medal winner (1994) is the epitome of elegance and refinement. With its perfectly shaped, bowl-shaped flowers and large, silky petals, it is a tribute to classic peony beauty.

What makes 'Mother's Choice' so beloved begins with its beautifully shaped bud stage. The very large white-green buds are a promise of what is to come. When she reveals her flowers, she shows a beautiful white to creamy white hue accompanied by a subtle, pleasant fragrance. She blooms in the middle segment, just before the famous 'Sarah Bernhardt' makes her entrance, thus forming the perfect transition in the peony season.

Why choose Mother's Choice?

• Award-winning Top Quality: As winner of the APS Gold Medal, it symbolizes the highest achievable quality and beauty.

• Beautiful Bowl Shape: The flowers are composed of large leaves that form a perfect, full bowl.

• Luxury Bud Stage: The large buds with their fresh green accents are a feast for the eyes, even before they bloom.

• Elegant Color: The pure white to soft cream color exudes timeless class that suits any bouquet or border.

Tip from the grower: ‘Mother’s Choice’ requires a connoisseur’s eye when cutting. Because the buds are so full and firm, it is sometimes difficult to see when they are exactly ripe. Be careful not to cut her too young, because then this queen may not open her flower fully. Give her time to 'soften' in the bud, and she will reward you with unparalleled flowering.
