AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY AWARDS
Click to Print This Page

AWARD OF LANDSCAPE MERIT (ALM) is bestowed by the American Peony Society. To earn this award a variety is expected to stand well through various weather conditions and to have superior ornamental qualities when measured against the accepted standards for which peonies are wanted. This must hold true from year to year performance across the United State's peony growing regions.

BEST IN SHOW is awarded each year at the American Peony Society’s national convention. The show is open to amateurs and professionals alike, who may enter cut flower stems from all groups of peonies for consideration. A panel of judges evaluates each stem in the various classes and divisions. In each class awards are given to the most worthy flowers that meet certain criteria. The winning flower (blue ribbon winner) from each division is selected for further evaluation, and judges evaluate among the blue ribbon winners the Court of Honor champions. From those top winners the final selection is made and the Best of Show or "Queen of the Show" peony is awarded.

GOLD MEDAL AWARD (GM) Exceptional peonies have long been recognized by the American Peony Society by way of awarding medals and certificates. In this scheme of things the Gold Medal has always been considered the ultimate accolade for the best peony flower.
