Product description
More commonly known as Peony, Paeonia Sarah Bernhardt is valued for its soft, romantic presence in the garden. The large, fully double blooms open in gentle shades of rose pink, each petal delicately ruffled to create a full, cloud like flower that feels both elegant and timeless. As the blooms mature, their colour softens further, giving the plant a graceful, vintage charm that blends beautifully into cottage style borders and early summer planting schemes. The fresh green foliage forms a neat, rounded clump that provides structure long before the flowers appear, making this Peony a standout feature even in the quieter moments of the season.
Caring for Sarah Bernhardt plants is straightforward and rewarding once the plant is settled. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded position with well drained soil and set the roots just below the surface so they can settle naturally. Peonies take time to establish, but each year brings stronger growth and more generous flowering. As the season unfolds, the stems rise and unfurl their blooms gradually, offering weeks of colour and gentle fragrance. With a long lifespan and a dependable habit, this Peony becomes a lasting part of the garden, rewarding patience with beauty that returns year after year.

Instructions
Top Tip
Peonies benefit from being planted somewhere they can remain undisturbed, as they flower best when left to settle in the same spot for many years.
How to Water
Water newly planted Peonies well to help the soil settle around the roots, then allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, they prefer consistent moisture during spring and early summer, but they cope well with natural rainfall and rarely need heavy or frequent watering.
How to Plant
Plant Peonies in a sunny or lightly shaded spot with well‑drained soil, setting the roots just below the surface so the buds sit only a few centimetres deep. Water well after planting, then allow the soil to settle naturally as the plant begins to establish.
