Peony 'Lois Choice'

Paeonia 'Lois Choice' is a 1993 herbaceous hybrid introduced by Laning. Its unusual flower is divided into three sections of warm pink, bright yellow and pink, a combination the [American Peony Society registry](https://americanpeonysociety.org/cultivars/peony-registry/lois-choice/) calls distinctive. ## Garden use The registry records parentage Quad F3 × Silver Dawn F3 and notes the cultivar's 2017 Gold Medal. The [Parkland Peonies listing](https://parklandpeonies.com/product/lois-choice/) describes compact, vigorous growth, strong stems and large double blooms, and lists it for cutting. Color can shift as flowers open, so the three-part pattern may appear with blended apricot and salmon tones. ## Growing conditions Give the plant a sunny, open position in fertile, well-drained soil. Herbaceous peonies are long-lived and dislike disturbance; the [RHS peony guide](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/peony/herbaceous) recommends avoiding competition and very wet ground. ## Maintenance Support stems if needed as buds enlarge. Remove spent blooms and cut foliage back after it dies down in autumn.
