Description
Peony ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is a timeless classic, celebrated for its large, double blooms in soft, blush pink. The elegantly ruffled petals are delicately edged in silver, adding a touch of refinement to this enduring favourite. Blooming in late spring to early summer, its lightly fragrant flowers make it an ideal choice for borders, cutting gardens, or as a centrepiece in mixed beds.
This peony is known for its vigorous growth and sturdy stems that support its luxurious blooms. Its deep green, finely cut foliage provides a beautiful contrast and remains attractive throughout the growing season. Fully hardy and easy to grow, ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ thrives in sunny or partially shaded locations with well-drained, fertile soil. Renowned for its reliability and abundant flowering, it’s a must-have for gardeners and floral enthusiasts alike.
We supply the highest quality bare root peony roots with 3–5 eyes, ensuring robust growth and stunning displays. For optimal results, plant in spring with the crown positioned 2.5–5 cm below the soil surface, and water regularly during the growing season. With proper care, ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ will reward you with years of exquisite blooms.
Newly planted peonies seldom make a first-class show in their first season, instead reaching the top of their form in their second or third year.
