Sarah Bernhardt Peony
Paeonia lactiflora ‘Sarah Bernhardt’
1 gallon pot
 
A timeless and elegant peony, Sarah Bernhardt is prized for its large, fully double blooms in soft shell-pink tones, often accented with subtle silver highlights. The ruffled flowers are richly fragrant and make exceptional cut flowers, bringing a classic, romantic look to late spring gardens. Its strong stems and lush green foliage create a full, dependable clump.
 
This long-lived perennial performs best in full sun with well-drained soil and benefits from consistent moisture during the growing season. It prefers a permanent location where it can establish and thrive over time, producing increasingly abundant blooms each year. Staking may be helpful to support the large, heavy flowers.
