Like the actress for which it is named, the Sarah Bernhardt Peony is a showstopper. Hardy and virtually carefree once established, this frilly bloom is admired as much as a garden centerpiece as an accent. With fragrant, blush flowers from 7-9 inches wide, this remarkable peony has interest and color variation for three seasons. In early spring, enjoy daring reddish hues that transition to the innocent baby pink blooms of late spring and summer and culminate in joining the riotous colors of fall with bronze and purple. Insect and pest resistant, the flowers contain high amounts of phenol, rendering them unattractive to pests of all descriptions. Admired outdoors and long-lasting in arrangements within, this impressive, aromatic peony will not disappoint.
