How to care for your Paeonia Sarah Bernhardt

  • Planting: Should be planted in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. The plant prefers full sun or partial shade and needs to be planted at least 2-3 feet apart to allow enough space for growth. Planting in the fall is recommended for best results.
  • Watering: It needs to be watered regularly, especially during the growing season. Water deeply once or twice a week, making sure not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. During the Autumn and Winter, reduce watering to allow the plant to go into dormancy.
  • Fertilising: Benefits from a balanced fertiliser applied in early Spring and again in early Summer. Avoid over fertilising as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower production.
  • Pruning: Deadheading spent blooms can help promote more flowers, but avoid cutting the stem too close to the plant as this can damage the buds for the following year. Prune back the foliage to the ground in the Autumn after it has died back naturally.

By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your Paeonia Sarah Bernhardt plant thrives and produces beautiful blooms year after year.
