Sarah Bernhardt

Note: Peony ship starting in mid-November based on availability and your zone, unlike other products. Plant upon arrival. As long as the soil is not frozen and is workable, peony roots can be planted.

One of the most well-known Peonies, Sarah Bernhardt was introduced in 1906 and has been the star of floral arrangements for over 100 years. Her beautiful, ruffled pink blooms average 7-8” and stand atop strong stems. This is a very floriferous plant and will need some staking as her blooms become quite heavy when she is at her peak. We love her classic look, romantic color, and sweet fragrance.

Please note that Peonies may take several growing seasons to get established before they reward you with armloads of beautiful blooms.

Sarah Bernhardt is sold as one root with 3-5 eyes.

Fall Planting Instructions:

Choose an area with at least 6 hours of sunlight with soil that has good drainage.
Dig a hole 12-18” deep. Mix soil with an all-purpose fertilizer. Add the amended and loosened soil back into the hole.
Place Peony roots 2-3” under the soil line with eyes facing upward, and then gently pack the soil over the roots.
Water well.
