‘Sarah Bernhardt’ Garden Peony

Paeonia lactiflora Late. 36" tall. Fully double type. Introduced in 1906. Fragrant flowers open with narrow red lines shot onto light rose-pink. Matures to delicate pink with a slight creamy-silvery edge. Can a pink be both warm and silvery? This one is. One of our favorites with exactly the right amount of doubling—richly full but not crammed. BACK! (bare root crowns with 3–5 eyes)

Additional Information

Garden Peonies

Also called Chinese Peony. Red shoots appear in spring and form a bushy clump of lustrous dark green deeply lobed foliage. Spherical buds on sturdy stems above the foliage gradually open into large beautiful flowers from late spring to early summer. Ants may help the buds open so don’t discourage their presence. May take 3 to 5 years to establish before blooming. Wait several years until the plants have many stems (therefore many eyes) before dividing.

Herbaceous Perennial Plants

When you receive your order, open the bags and check the stock immediately. Roots and crowns should be firm and pliable. Surface mold is harmless and will not affect the plant’s future performance. Store plants in their packaging in a cool (35–40°) location until you are ready to plant. If it’s going to be awhile, you can pot up your perennials.

Do not plant bare-root perennial plant crowns directly outdoors before danger of frost has passed. Wet and/or cold conditions for an extended period may cause rotting.
