Description
Paeonia ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is one of the most famous and widely grown herbaceous peonies, celebrated for its large, fully double soft shell-pink flowers and rich, sweet fragrance. Flowering in late spring to early summer, the luxurious blooms are often flecked with subtle raspberry tones at the centre and are outstanding as cut flowers.
This long-lived perennial forms a strong clump of dark green foliage that provides structure throughout the growing season before dying back in autumn. Reliable and increasingly floriferous with age, ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and mixed perennial planting, offering timeless elegance and romantic colour.
Supplied in a 2-litre pot, this well-rooted plant establishes quickly and will reward patience with spectacular blooms year after year.
