Bloomsz Sarah Bernhardt Peony Roots (3 pack) SUPER SAVER PACK A classic favorite, the Sarah Bernhardt peony is a strong grower and a prolific, reliable bloomer. Extremely large double blooms grow on stout, strong stems that dont require staking. The large, bow-shaped double flowers, darker pink at the center and lighter toward the edges, have a memorable fragrance. This excellent cut flower will last a full week if cut when in full bud. Mounded, glossy deep green foliage accents flower color. Adds old-fashioned charm to the garden, bouquets, and flower arrangements. Delightfully fragrant. Hummingbirds and butterflies love them. Easy to grow and maintain. Deer and rabbit resistant. Prefer full sun to light shade. Grows 36-48" tall. Plant 24-36 apart. Perennial in Zones 3-8; dig bulbs and store indoors in colder areas. Growing Instructions: Select an area in the garden that receives full sun where the soil drains well. Loosen the soil to a depth of 12-18 and amend with compost if necessary. Place the fleshy roots into the soil so that the eyes or growing points are no more than 1-2 below the soil level. Plants should be spaced 24-36 apart. Tamp down the soil and water well. As the plant begins to grow, place a hoop-type stake into the ground to support the plant and its heavy blooms. Water deeply during periods of drought.
