The Sarah Bernhardt Peony is the gold standard for backyard elegance, and for good reasonit has been a garden favorite since 1906. If you are looking for that classic “cottage garden” look, this beauty delivers with massive, apple-blossom pink double blooms that can reach the size of a dinner plate. Growing to a lush 3 feet tall and wide, it creates a magnificent presence in any sunny border. While the fragrance is absolutely heavenly to us, the local deer and rabbits find it unappealing, making it a dependable choice for open landscapes. I always tell my neighbors to give these girls plenty of sun and a sturdy stake or hoop, as those heavy, petal-packed flowers can bow down after a spring rain. Plant them in rich, well-drained soil, and you will have a cold-hardy heirloom that blooms more beautifully with every passing year.
