Callirhoe involucrata
In the spring, winecups produce a profusion of solid pink to magenta flowers. Their trailing form and distinctly lobed foliage make them particularly attractive when combined with Wild Foxglove and Four-nerve Daisy. Alternatively, they can be hung over a wall or turned into a basket. This stunning, spreading perennial is drought-tolerant in well-drained soil but may be susceptible to rust in wet seasons.
Purple poppy-mallow stems sprawl along the ground for up to 3 feet, forming a thick mat. The leaves are rounded, hairy, deeply lobed, and cleft. These wide flowers are chalice-shaped, measuring between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 inches in height, and have a white spot at the base of their five maroon petals. The flowers close in the evening, open in the morning, and remain closed after pollination on long, axillary stalks.
