Purple Poppy Mallow, also known as Winecups, offers a massive display of chalice-shaped magenta flowers on trailing, deeply lobed foliage. Excellent as a rock garden plant or ground cover, individual plants can spread three or more feet in width, while remaining only a foot high. Callirhoe involucrata looks great trailing over a wall and fits well in both formal and naturalized settings. Early Summer is its peak bloom time, but plants can continue blooming throughout summer and into the fall. Flowering can be prolonged by deadheading - removing old flowers before they set seed. Very drought tolerant with a long tap root, this mallow species is easy to grow in any almost any dry to medium soil in full sun. Purple Poppy Mallow is a host plant for the Gray Hairstreak, and Painted Lady butterflies.
