Winecups
Callirhoe involucrata
This native thrives at the front of the border, in the wild garden and Xeriscape where it enjoys the full sun, blooming with wine-red flowers from April to hard frost. Perennial. Xeriscape.
Tips from the pros:
Less water and some pinching back will help this plant stay more compact and not spread so wide. It does self-seed so remove any seedlings while they are young, before the roots get a good foothold.
