Pink peonies will always be in vogue. But there are varieties that will grow and enjoy themselves without frequent agronomic care or watering. The Sarah Bernhardt peony is such a natural and beautiful variety.
Appearance and fragrance
This is a very delicate type of pink peony. On large, deep green bushes, lush flowers appear as early as early summer. They resemble airy cherry ice cream or delicate whipped cream. The main petals are on the edge to form a bowl. It is filled with small, slightly elongated petals.
The strong stems give the plant a certain stiffness. However, the fragrance that emerges with the first buds replaces the cool green gloss with a spicy dessert. The scent is sweet, medium-bodied and will not change over time.

Flowering time: June
Bud shape: hemispherical
Diameter of the inflorescence: 20 centimetres

Guide and tips for planting peony plants and bulbs
- Choose a sunny spot in your garden with well-draining soil.
- Dig a hole that is 2-3 times wider than the diameter of the peony bulb or root and deep enough to accommodate it comfortably.
- Mix some compost or other organic matter into the soil at the bottom of the hole.
- Place the peony bulb or root in the hole with the "eyes" (small buds) facing up and the crown (thickened stem base) no more than 1-2 inches below the soil surface.
- Fill the hole with soil and gently firm the soil around the bulb or root.
- Water the soil until it is evenly moist.
- Cover the area with a layer of mulch to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Water the plant regularly, making sure not to let the soil dry out completely.
- As the plant grows, provide support to the stem to prevent it from bending or breaking.
- After the flowers have faded, cut the stem off at the base and continue to care for the plant by watering it regularly and providing it with full sun or partial shade.
