15 Seeds Purple Poppy Mallow Native Wildflower Groundcover Heirloom Garden Flower

Purple Poppy Mallow is a low-growing native perennial wildflower known for its vivid magenta-purple, cup-shaped blooms that open through summer. Its trailing habit and long bloom window make it a favorite for meadow plantings, pollinator gardens, and sunny borders.
This versatile plant works well as a groundcover, in rock gardens, along walkways, or in mixed wildflower beds. The five-petaled flowers close in the evening and reopen in sunlight, adding continuous color across the season. It tolerates heat and dry conditions once established and pairs nicely with other native perennials.
