Callirhoe bushii
(Bush's Poppy Mallow)
$
8.00    
 
 
One of the common names of Callirhoe bushii is "Wine Cups," and it is a perfect one, too, because it accurately describes the flower's magenta, cup-shaped blooms. Callirhoe bushii is a rambler and spreads to about three feet, and it looks best where it's given room to meander among other plants.  Callirhoe bushii matures to about two feet in height, likes full sun to partial shade, and soil on the dry side.   It is a long bloomer in summer and a butterfly magnet.  Zones 4-8. Quarts.
Callirhoe involucrata
(Wine Cups/Purple Poppy Mallow)
$
8.00    
 
 
Callirhoe involucrata (Wine Cups/Purple Poppy Mallow), is another easy to grow, trailing native plant suited for the walkway, the front of the border, sprawling over a rock wall,  in either a formal garden or a wild one.  Even though Callirhoe involucrata only grows from about six to twelve inches high (with a spread of three feet), if planted near taller plants, it will twine itself around them, and you will be delighted with magenta cups peeking at you from any height.  Callirhoe involucrata is low maintenance, drought tolerant, and it blooms from mid-summer until fall.   Callirhoe prefers full sun in Zones 4-8.  Quarts.  (Photo by Clarence A.
