Sarah Bernhardt Garden Peony - Pink Paeonia (3 Roots)

Honestly, I wasn’t sure about writing a review, but based on the outcome that I’ve had with these bulbs I had to share their journey.First of all, I appreciate them putting their license on the box which unknowingly helped me with transporting these beautiful girls through customs. They were being shipped outside of America through a third-party and it has helped tremendously in ways I actually don’t know but the process was easy. Another thing was the instructions. I love the instructions however, I didn’t really use it regarding potting. I have them in one pot for now until I’m able to put it in separate pots.I bought 7 bulbs, one was slow with growing that’s why it took me so long to make the review because I wanted a genuine response so I wanted to give her time to get used to the new location but I’m relieved that she eventually grew leaves and she’s starting to look like the others. I’m not sure if the slowest bulb was a red peony, but that was the only odd color out, the others were pink. In the pictures I have stages of how they look outside of the package and how they flourish after getting used to the environment.There’s some stages that it doesn’t look like what I bought but, with time and patience I knew that it would be exactly how I envisioned the product to be. I had to cut a couple stems because I believe due to journey some got rotted and soggy and after I gave it time to restore the damaged sections, it grew new stems. ( I believe the time period in which I opened it and when it was delivered is around 9 days. No fault of the company. Just customs and importation clearance). With all that considered, I am pleased with how the plants came out. Waiting for the growth was nerve-racking because I was hoping it wasn’t a waste of money, but it was worth it, they’re young, but they’re beautiful.

Three roots arrived, one sluggish growth, other two AWOL! Expensive and wasted money. Never to but again.

Roots are growing beautifully and should become a bush before long. Very sturdy and a great value for the money.

Ordered Sarah Bernhardt bare roots. The good thing is all three roots are alive. However, their leaves look different, they are definitely not the same variety. They will bloom in year three, so don’t know the color yet. I don’t like surprises when it comes to flowers.

I planted the Peony roots on May 23, 2024. Today, 8 days later, they have grown at least 2 inches! I planted them in a pot and they are doing great so far! Hopefully they will bloom next Spring!

50% of the root balls, planted adjacent to each other (same soil, moisture, sunlight, depth, etc.) failed to yield growth.Avoid~

Planted them not doing so well! I was hoping I could put them on my mom grave.

These peonies are gorgeous!!! I bought them several years ago, and this is how they’ve aged and grown. This is their 3rd bloom and the neighbors are always in awe of them. Pics are this bloom, 2023. These bloom earlier than other peonies in the neighborhood, AND ARE SOOOO MUCH BIGGER, so they get a lot of attention.And FYI- the actual flower is bigger than my son’s head. He’s 2.5yr old, if that helps.Very easy to grow. Highly recommend. I’ll be buying more of these!
