Description
Vividly Coloured Summer Flower with a Story
‘Carmine King’ Field Larkspur (Consolida ajacis) is a richly coloured variant of the classic annual larkspur. Its upright flower spikes in deep carmine red to purplish pink add vibrant highlights to flower borders, cottage gardens and wildflower strips. The plant’s slender, finely divided foliage lends it a light appearance, while its densely packed flower heads bring structure and vertical interest to the bed.
Historically known as Annual Larkspur or Field Larkspur, this wildflower was once a familiar sight along traditional field margins. With cultivars like ‘Carmine King’, it returns in a modern, ornamental form to our gardens – as an ecologically valuable, pollinator-friendly flowering plant with nostalgic charm.
The bright blooms are a magnet for bees, bumblebees and butterflies. At the same time, field larkspur is a popular cut flower – with its tall, upright stems and bold colour, it makes a striking addition to summer bouquets.
