Meet Paeonia Lactiflora ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ — the legendary queen of peonies.
 
This iconic variety produces large, fully double blooms in a soft pink hue, with delicate hints of white at the base of each petal. Richly layered and exquisitely fragrant, the blossoms emerge from rounded pink buds into a spectacular display that commands attention in any garden. Framed by deep green, glossy foliage, the flowers shine beautifully from late spring into early summer.
 
Growing tall with strong, sturdy stems, ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is as reliable as it is stunning. With very high productivity and side buds, each plant offers multiple show-stopping flowers that are perfect for cut arrangements. Highly resistant to disease, this classic cultivar thrives in cooler climates as well as in greenhouse cultivation.
 
Celebrated worldwide for over a century, ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is more than a peony — it’s a timeless symbol of elegance, grace, and enduring beauty.
