‘Sarah Bernhardt’ Herbaceous peony

Huge, pink double blooms resemble old-fashioned roses; they’re fragrant too. Sturdy, erect stems make them great for cutting, or leave the blooms on the plant as pretty backdrops for spring bulbs.

This variety blooms in mid-spring and grows 2 1/2 to 3 feet tall and wide.
