Discover the enchanting beauty of the Sarah Bernhardt Peony, featuring enormous, fragrant, double blooms in stunning rose pink with ruffled white edges. Perfect for gardens and bouquets alike. |
Herbaceous peonies are a beloved choice for adding vibrant color and drama to ornamental borders in late spring and early summer, featuring large, often double flowers in shades of white, pink, and red that return year after year. Unlike tree peonies, they die back to ground level in winter, thriving in well-drained, neutral soil and full sun. One standout variety, Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah Bernhardt,' showcases enormous, fragrant, double flowers in rose pink with ruffled white edges. While flower stems may require staking, this variety also makes an excellent cut flower, perfect for bringing the beauty of the garden indoors.
