Pollination Info
Sarah Bernhardt Peony (Paeonia lactiflora 'Sarah Bernhardt') Pollination Info:
The Sarah Bernhardt Peony is a perennial plant known for its large, fragrant, double pink flowers. When it comes to pollination, these plants rely on insects like bees and butterflies to transfer pollen between flowers for successful fertilization.
Peonies have both male (stamens) and female (pistils) reproductive parts within each flower. Bees are attracted to the colorful petals and sweet nectar of peony flowers, and as they feed on the nectar, they inadvertently brush against the pollen-producing stamens. The pollen then sticks to the bodies of the bees and is carried to other flowers as they continue foraging.
Cross-pollination between different peony plants can result in genetic diversity and the production of seeds for new plant offspring. It is important to provide a welcoming habitat for pollinators in your garden to ensure the successful pollination of your Sarah Bernhardt Peonies.
