Transform your garden into a romantic haven with the timeless elegance of Organic Paeonia ‘Sarah Bernhardt’. This exquisite peony variety is cherished for its large, fully double blooms in a soft, blush pink shade, enhanced by a subtle hint of rose fragrance. Perfect for creating an enchanting focal point in borders, beds, or as part of a cottage garden, this classic beauty also makes a stunning addition to cut flower arrangements, bringing the outdoors in with its natural charm.
Grown organically, the ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ bare root peony offers a sustainable and eco-friendly way to introduce one of the most beloved perennials into your garden. This hardy plant is easy to care for and thrives in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil. It flourishes in a sunny or lightly shaded position, making it ideal for the temperamental UK climate. Once established, this peony rewards you with an abundance of blooms in late spring to early summer, year after year.
Planting and caring for your peony is straightforward. On arrival, soak the bare root in water for a few hours to rehydrate it before planting. Position the crown no deeper than 2.5cm (1 inch) below the soil surface to ensure proper flowering. Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, particularly in dry spells, and mulch annually to retain moisture and enrich the soil. While the plant requires minimal maintenance, deadheading spent blooms and cutting back foliage in autumn helps maintain its health and encourages strong flowering in the following season.
With its reliable performance, organic credentials, and striking appearance, Paeonia ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is a true garden classic. Whether adorning pathways, filling containers, or gracing bouquets, this timeless peony promises to elevate your garden with elegance and charm.
