A taller peony often growing to 95cm, so it is ideal for the back of the border although it may sometimes need staking. This is probably the most widely grown cut flower peony in the world, flowers are freely produced often to the end of June so it is great for extending the flowering season.
The Sarah Bernhardt peony was introduced in 1906 by the French breeder Monsieur Lemoine and named after Sarah Bernhardt, a French actress - some say the most famous actress the world has ever known.
She actually had a coffin in which she often slept instead of a bed, as she believed it helped her understand her many tragic roles. . The saying "doing a Sarah Bernhardt" refers to having a melodramatic moment, a tribute to Sarah's extraordinary talent for tragic drama.
