Sarah Bernhardt

What Sarah Bernhardt peonies look like

Classic Sarah Bernhardt has pink double flowers with many petals. Opening shows the inner petals and paler edges. Small red markings on some petals can be characteristic of the variety. Pink colour alone does not confirm variety, however: agree the name when ordering.

Choose by the finished width and height as well as stem count. Open peonies are much wider than buds. Discuss a compact format for a date or office gift; more volume can suit a presentation at home. A large bouquet needs a stable vase with space for the flowers.

Sarah Bernhardt with other flowers

A bouquet of this variety alone keeps a pink palette. White roses and lisianthus suit a lighter mixed arrangement, while coral peonies add warmth. Avoid filling gaps too tightly: double flowers need space to open. If fragrance matters, discuss it separately from colour and wrapping.

Bridal bouquets and photography

For a wedding, agree the colour of open flowers beside the dress, the bouquet width and a comfortable handle. Give the ceremony and photography times and the preferred opening stage. Each stem develops at its own pace, so the florist assesses the flowers before arranging. Buds need not all open together.

Sarah Bernhardt prices and season

Cost depends on supply, stem count, other flowers and wrapping. Catalogue prices are in lei; for a custom arrangement we agree the budget and total before payment. Preparation of this variety for your date is confirmed separately. The natural season does not mean a particular variety can be ordered for any date without checking.

Caring for buds after arrival

Recut the stems, remove leaves below the water and use a clean vase. Check water daily and keep flowers away from direct sunlight and heating. Do not pull double petals apart by hand. Send MURCI a photograph if buds stay closed or flowers deteriorate quickly: tightness alone does not guarantee opening.
