Sarah Bernhardt Peony

Peonies are grown for their large, brightly colored flowers and bold dissected foliage.

The Sarah Bernhardt, sometimes referred to as a Chinese Peony, is of the double variety, which flowers in a large, spherical form with ruffled, overlapping petals filling the center...stamens are absent or inconspicuous.

Robust Sarah blooms mid to late spring with petals of a rose-pink. Inner petals are threaded with silvery margins, and stems are a medium green, sturdy and erect.

Sarah Bernhardt is a reliable bloomer and makes a lovely cut flower. Gather just as the buds begin to open for maximum effect.

They are so fragrant you won’t be able to get enough, so be sure to plant near outdoor living spaces!

Peonies are extremely long lived and will dominate in the mixed, herbaceous, or shrub border.

They will grow to an impressive size over time and may get too big for the small border...hardy and ideal for low maintenance gardens.
