Sarah Bernhardt peony is a popular herbaceous peony that produces huge, double, soft pink blooms with a sweet aroma. It blooms from late spring to early summer and is a long-lasting, low-maintenance perennial. The blossoms are sometimes characterized as having a ruffled appearance and may be flecked with deeper pink or reddish violet. The plant grows to be about 3 feet tall and wide, with lovely green foliage that remains throughout the summer.
