Thumbnail Filmstrip of Callirhoe involucrata - Purple Poppy Mallow Images
Purple Poppy Mallow is a very rare native plant that produces a non-stop show of attractive, cup-shaped, wine red flowers with white centers from June through to September! Its trailing stems are perfect for hanging over walls and it makes an excellent ground cover. Very drought-tolerant and easy to grow in well-drained soils, Callirhoe involucrata is a valuable plant for hot south or west facing gardens. It is also the larval host and/or nectar source for the Gray Hairstreak Butterfly (Strymon melons).
