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.
