Discover the enchanting allure of Callirhoe involucrata, commonly known as Purple Poppy Mallow or Winecup Mallow, a captivating perennial that blankets landscapes with vibrant magenta flowers. This hardy native of the central United States graces gardens from Zone 4 to 8, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. Its eye-catching, cup-shaped blooms, each about 2.5 inches wide, flourish on trailing stems from mid-spring to fall, creating a magnificent tapestry of color.

The plant forms a dense, ground-hugging mat, reaching up to 3 feet wide yet standing a mere foot tall. Its palmate leaves, deeply lobed and bristly, contribute to its distinctive appearance. Not just a visual delight, Purple Poppy Mallow is eco-friendly too, attracting bees and butterflies, including the Gray Hairstreak and Painted Lady.

Ideal for rock gardens, borders, and naturalized areas, it complements both formal and wild landscapes. Remarkably drought-tolerant, thanks to its long taproot, this low-maintenance gem outshines other groundcovers, offering seasonal beauty with minimal effort. Deadhead spent flowers to extend its blooming period, transforming your garden into a dazzling, pollinator-friendly paradise each summer.
