Callirhoe involucrata - Poppy-mallow/Wine Cups (North Creek Nurseries)

Callirhoe involucrata

Poppy/Wine Cups

Wine Cups or Purple Poppymallow is a native groundcover which forms a wide sprawling mat of green dissected leaves. The large magenta-purple cup-shaped flowers appear from late spring through summer, and are especially showy on sunny days. Callirhoe involucrata produces a deep tap roof, which makes it tolerant of dry conditions but difficult to move.  Will flourish in hot, sunny west facing beds and slopes or spilling over walls.  Host plant for Gray Hairstreak. The sprawling habit would make Wine Cups a good candidate rock gardens.
