SARAH BERNHARDT

ORIGIN: FRANCE, 1906

Sarah Bernhardt is the peony of generations. When someone says pink peony, this is the one they’re picturing.

When a bride sweeps down the aisle, she’s there. When a grandmother’s garden blooms, she’s there.

She is the peony that is often divided and shared and carried from garden to garden for over a century.

Full double blooms in soft ruffled pink open 8–10" wide. The fragrance so sweet and familiar it recalls a memory of a special person or place in time. She blooms late-season. A classic finale.
