Named after the Livonian botanist Johann Friedrich Eschscholtz, this is a strikingly beautiful variety of California Poppies with bright pink & red flowers & dusky green foliage. Best used to cover large patches of soil, Carmine King can be a charming addition to your garden. They can grow in a wide range of soils but prefer well-drained soil for best results. It is one of the easiest variety of flowers to grow which can thrive with very little care. Sow these plants for cut flowers, flower beds, borders & containers. These flowers are very attractive for bees and butterflies. Owing to their low maintenance properties, these flowers can even tolerate drought & will grow best in poor soil.
