Callirhoe involucrata, commonly known as poppy mallow or wine cups, is a perennial adapted to many summer-dry climate gardens. This plant is characterized by its low-growing, spreading habit and vibrant magenta flowers that bloom in the summer months. Native to North America, Callirhoe involucrata thrives in mediterranean climates and is drought-tolerant once established. Ideally grown in well-draining soil and full sun, this plant requires minimal water once it has developed a strong root system. The low maintenance nature of Callirhoe involucrata makes it a popular choice for xeriscape gardens and rock gardens. Additionally, the bright flowers attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, adding to the biodiversity of the garden. Consider planting Callirhoe involucrata in your garden to bring a pop of color to your summer-dry landscape.
