Imagine each bloom showcasing soft blush pink petals, often adorned with deeper rose tones, encircling a radiant golden center. The enchanting, sweet scent they release will beautifully infuse your garden, creating an irresistible atmosphere.  The plant boasts deep green, glossy foliage that creates a compact mound, making it an ideal choice for smaller garden spaces, borders, or container gardens.

Don't miss out on adding this stunning feature to your gardening collection!  ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ is an exceptional outdoor plant that not only captivates with its beauty but also demands minimal trimming and is incredibly easy to maintain.  With its strong root system, this plant is drought tolerant once established and can thrive for decades with minimal care. It's a fantastic option for anyone looking to combine beauty with long-lasting durability in their garden.  

This plant offers a natural defense against deer and rabbits, providing reassurance for those gardening in areas frequented by wildlife. Additionally, it serves as a dependable pollinator, drawing in butterflies and bees, and promoting a rich ecological diversity in your garden.  Although peonies are not considered toxic, it's wise to prevent pets from nibbling on any part of the plant.

Taking care of your plants is straightforward:

Choose nutrient-rich, well-draining soil and consider planting in the fall for optimal root development. Remember to space your plants at least 24–36 inches apart for the best results.  Ensure you water thoroughly when planting and keep the moisture consistent until your plants are well-established. As they grow stronger and more resilient, you can gradually decrease the watering frequency for optimal drought resistance.  Applying mulch around the base during winter is a smart strategy to protect your roots from the cold and keep those pesky weeds at bay.  

For optimal results, a little pruning goes a long way. Be sure to deadhead those spent blooms throughout the flowering season to maintain a tidy appearance, and don’t forget to cut the foliage down to ground level after the first frost in autumn. This simple practice will keep your garden looking its best!  In spring, consider using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer 18-5-10 to ensure your plants thrive and produce stunning blooms.  

The Sarah Bernhardt peony is a breathtaking choice that guarantees a captivating centerpiece. With its delightful fragrance, resilient nature, and timeless appeal, it seamlessly enhances both traditional and contemporary gardens, making it a must-have for any gardener.
