Carmine King Poppy
The ‘Carmine King’ California Poppy cultivar has rosy-colored, smaller pointed petals compared to the classic poppy.
It grows 1 – 1.5 ft. tall and 0.5 – 1 ft. wide. Space 2 ft. apart.
Like other poppies, the ‘Carmine King’ is summer deciduous (but can last through the summer, especially in milder climates) and will come back when the rainy season begins.
Rabbits and other small herbivores love to eat this plant, but it grows back quickly so they do not often kill it.
Lifeform: Perennial
Sun: Full Sun
Other: Attracts Bees, Attracts Birds, Drought Tolerant
