What customers say
Enthusiasts highly value the Sarah Bernhardt Peony for its eventual reward: large, fragrant, double pink blooms that become garden centerpieces. Successful growers express immense satisfaction with this classic variety's reliability once established. The core theme centers on the necessary patience required, as bare root peonies often take two to three years to mature and flower, which can cause initial frustration. While some initial concerns exist regarding root appearance upon arrival, shipping is generally praised. For those committed to the long term, this peony is considered a worthwhile investment yielding a high quality, beloved heirloom specimen.
