Paeonia lactiflora - Peony - Red Sarah Bernhardt
Availability: Out of stock
Paeonia lactiflora 'Red Sarah Bernhardt' is truly arresting among the world of peonies and shows a deviation from the classic 'Sarah Bernhardt'. This variety brings a new level of drama and elegance to gardens, flowering from late spring to early summer. Flowers are such big double, very rich in fragrance; the strong scent is spreading all over the garden. The rich green foliage forms an effective backdrop, accenting the beauty of the flowers. 'Red Sarah Bernhardt' peonies need full sun and partial shade with even watering to develop strong roots for perennial display.
It is, therefore, a very well-sought-after variety for its vigorous, very easy, and manageable nature, to the extent that it would ideally suit a gardener who would like to have a small or romantic, sophisticated touch on his exteriors. Best grown in well-drained, organically enriched soils.
