Lake Hills Creamsicle

Lake Hills Creamsicle won the American Dahlia Society's Stanley Johnson Medal in 2022 and ranks sixth on the Fab 50 for 2025 with 156 ribbons, a remarkable showing for an open-centered peony in a show world that often favors the tight double forms. The orange-cream color earns the playful name, and it crosses over easily to the cutting garden and the pollinator bed. The breeder code is on record but we could not tie it to a named person, so the hybridizer stays flagged.

Lake Hills Creamsicle is an open-centered peony in a warm orange-and-cream blend. Peony form means a looser, more romantic flower than a tight double, with an open center the bees can reach, so it earns its keep in a pollinator garden as well as a vase. Standard care, stake and pinch. It won a recent Stanley Johnson Medal, which is unusual for an open-centered variety and speaks to how clean its form is. A 2020 introduction is on record. We could not confirm the individual hybridizer beyond an ADS breeder code.
