Carmine King Poppyis a colorful California poppy cultivar prized for its rosy-fuchsia to carmine-pink flowers with bright golden centers. Growing about 12–18 inches tall, it features finely divided blue-green foliage and blooms from spring into summer, often extending into fall in mild climates. Like the classic California poppy, it thrives in full sun, tolerates drought once established, and performs best in well-drained soils. Its vibrant flowers attract bees and other pollinators, and the plants readily self-sow, making them a beautiful choice for meadows, borders, and naturalized native gardens.
