10 Bush's Poppy Mallow Seeds Callirhoe bushii Native Wildflower Pollinator Cottage Garden

Bush's Poppy Mallow is a native perennial wildflower known for its vivid magenta cup-shaped blooms and trailing, low-growing habit. Blooming through summer, it adds bright color to borders, rock gardens, and meadow-style plantings.

This plant spreads gently to form an attractive ground cover and is well suited to cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and naturalized areas. Its deeply lobed foliage stays tidy through the season, and the long taproot makes it a good choice for dry or rocky sites.
