The Paeonia Sarah Bernhardt is a timeless garden treasure, celebrated for its lush, fragrant double blooms in soft pink with occasional raspberry flecks. First introduced in 1906 by French breeder Victor Lemoine, this classic peony has become a garden staple across America, offering spectacular beauty and remarkable longevity in landscape designs and cutting gardens.
A Garden Classic with Enduring Appeal
The Sarah Bernhardt peony delivers exceptional value and beauty to any landscape project:
- Produces magnificent 7-9 inch double blooms with a rich, sweet fragrance perfect for scented gardens
- Grows to approximately 3 feet tall with a 2-3 foot spread, making it ideal for middle borders
- Features glossy, deep green foliage that remains attractive throughout the growing season
- Demonstrates excellent deer and rabbit resistance, reducing maintenance concerns
- Offers exceptional longevity, with established plants living for decades with minimal care
- Provides outstanding cut flowers with a vase life of up to 7 days
These peonies create dramatic focal points in perennial gardens while complementing other late spring bloomers like irises, alliums, and early roses.
Planting and Growing Information
Plant Sarah Bernhardt bare roots in fall for best establishment, positioning the eyes (growth buds) just 1-2 inches below soil level in rich, well-drained soil. These hardy perennials thrive in USDA zones 3-8, preferring full sun but tolerating light afternoon shade. While plants may take 2-3 years to reach full blooming potential, they'll reward patience with increasingly abundant flowers each spring. Blooms appear in late spring to early summer, creating weeks of garden splendor.
