A classic favorite, the Sarah Bernhardt peony is a strong grower and a prolific, reliable bloomer. Extremely large double blooms grow on stout, strong stems that don’t require staking. The large, bow-shaped double flowers, darker pink at the center and lighter toward the edges, have a memorable fragrance. This excellent cut flower will last a full week if cut when in full bud.

Select an area in the garden that receives full sun where the soil drains well. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12-18″ and amend with compost if necessary. Place the fleshy roots into the soil so that the eyes or growing points are no more than 1-2″ below the soil level. Plants should be spaced 24-36″ apart. Tamp down the soil and water well. As the plant begins to grow, place a hoop-type stake into the ground to support the plant and its heavy blooms. Water deeply during periods of drought.
