Sarah Bernhardt Peony — Large 5–8 Eye Bare Root

A classic for a reason, 'Sarah Bernhardt' produces large, fragrant, fully double rose-pink blooms that soften to pale pink at the petal edges. This beloved late-season herbaceous peony is a favorite for romantic garden bouquets and premium cut flowers.

What You Receive

One dormant bare-root peony division with 5–8 eyes (growth buds), a larger grade than many standard peony roots.

Growing Details

  • Botanical name: Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah Bernhardt'
  • Flower: Fragrant, fully double pink
  • Bloom time: Late peony season, generally late spring to early summer depending on climate
  • Light: Full sun; some afternoon shade can help in hot climates
  • Soil: Fertile, well-drained

Planting Your Peony Root

Plant the root with its eyes facing upward and no more than 1–2 inches below the finished soil surface in colder climates; in warm-winter areas, plant especially shallowly. Allow room for the mature clump and avoid low, wet spots. Peonies need winter chilling for reliable flowering, so performance varies in warmer regions. Established plants can thrive for decades without frequent division. Give new roots time to establish before expecting a full display.
