Paeonia lactiflora Red Sarah Bernhardt - Peony

Product ref: P27810

Availability: Out of stock

Paeonia Red Sarah Bernhardt isn’t, contrary to what its name would imply, a red version of Sarah Bernhardt. In fact, this variety from China has no similarities to Sarah Bernhardt at all. It’s not even red, but purple and cerise coloured. It has large flowers that bloom beautifully, when cut at the right stage of maturity, which is a unique attribute for a peony of this colour.

 

Red Sarah Bernhardt was registered in China in 1980. Unfortunately, it is unknown who has bred this particular variety. Another variety of peony, Fiona, shares strong similarities with Red Sarah Bernhardt and is sometimes sold under that name.

Supplied in an approx. 5 litre container.

 

This peony is a full-petalled lactiflora with a beautiful purple colour and fragrant flowers. The stems and leaves are strong and darkly coloured.
