10 Seeds Purple Poppy Mallow Callirhoe involucrata Winecup Wildflower

Purple Poppy Mallow is a low-growing, trailing perennial wildflower known for its vivid magenta-cup blooms that open wide in full sun. Its trailing stems form a dense mat of deeply lobed green foliage, making it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, hanging baskets, and cottage-style plantings.

The cup-shaped flowers appear over a long season from late spring into summer and are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects. Well suited to xeriscapes, native plant gardens, and informal meadows, it performs best in well-drained soil and tolerates heat and dry conditions once established. Grow it along pathways, in containers, or as a colorful groundcover where its spreading habit can be enjoyed.
