An unprecedentedly intense raspberry pink colour, with black spots in the centre of the petals, for the silky flowers of this Oriental poppy, also known as Papaver orientale Raspberry Brulee. This hardy perennial plant can be easily sown in sunny flower beds or borders, adding vibrancy throughout the summer. Its compact habit and sturdy stems emerging from beautiful green foliage also distinguish it. At the end of the season, its lovely fruits are useful for dried flower arrangements.
The Oriental poppy is an herbaceous perennial plant in the Papaveraceae family, native to Asia. The 'Raspberry Brulee' cultivar is a recently awarded horticultural selection that can be easily propagated by sowing. This plant has robust stems, reaching approximately 60 cm (24in) in height. It forms a bushy clump, reaching 40 cm (16in) in height (for the foliage) and 50 cm (20in) in width. Flowering begins in early June and continues into July, usually halted by heat and drought. Each flower stem carries a single pendant bud that turns upwards to give rise to a large single flower, measuring approximately 15 cm (6in) in diameter, with silky, slightly crumpled petals in vivid raspberry pink and maculated with dark purple at the base of the corolla. The flower remains in bloom for a few hours before the petals drop. Well-established plants produce multiple flower stems, ensuring more flowers for about 3 weeks. After flowering, the foliage tends to disappear, leaving behind a small basal rosette in autumn, characteristic of adaptation to high temperatures and summer drought. This plant has broad, rough, and hairy leaves, giving it a decorative grey-blue hue. The fleshy and deep roots of this Oriental poppy do not tolerate transplantation well, especially in mature plants.
The 'Raspberry Brulee' Oriental poppy is an excellent transitional plant for flower beds, blooming during a lull period (after spring blooms and before summer blooms). It pairs well with anise-like colours such as Euphorbia cyparissias or Alchemilla mollis. Oriental poppies are equally at ease in sophisticated flower beds in cottage gardens or rustic compositions. Associate them with artemisias, lavenders, asters, and nepetas with light blooms. They also beautifully complement autumn stonecrops, whose foliage develops during summer, and damask flowers and cosmos for a summery ambience with soft colours. In any case, accompany them with perennials as they fill the space after flowering. They are also sturdy and undemanding plants, capable of thriving in poor, rocky, and dry soils during summer.

Botanical data
Sow the Oriental Poppy 'Raspberry Brulee' from February to May on a light and moist compost surface at around 15°C (59°F). Do not cover the seeds. Place them in a mini-greenhouse or cover them with a plastic bag until germination, which usually takes 10 to 21 days. Keep the seedlings in a well-lit area, as this facilitates germination. Transplant the young poppies when large enough to handle into 8cm (3in) pots or deep trays. The pots and trays should be kept cool. When the plants are well established, gradually acclimatize them to the outdoors for 7 to 10 days before planting them in the garden. Plant the poppies 30cm (12in) apart in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil. Later sowings can overwinter under a cold frame and be planted out in spring. Alternatively, you can sow the seeds directly outdoors. Prepare the soil carefully and sow the fine seeds just below the surface. Water regularly, especially during dry periods. When the young poppy plants are large enough to move, plant them with a spacing of 30cm (12in) between each plant. The Oriental Poppy 'Raspberry Brulee' is a very hardy plant, able to withstand temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F). Like most poppies, it is easy to grow. It can tolerate any type of soil, even chalky, as long as it is well-drained. This plant dislikes heavy, waterlogged soils in winter. The soil should also be deep so that its long, fleshy taproot can develop properly. It must be planted in full sun.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
