  • Purple Poppy Mallow, also known as Winecups, offers an amazing display of magenta flowers that bloom for a long period in the summer heat. Blooming can be prolonged by dead-heading - with new blooms occuring well into Autumn. This plant has a long central taproot that makes it drought tolerant - but hard to transplant once established, so pick your spot carefully. 

    Purple Poppy Mallow thrives in full sun and depleted or dry soils. Too much moisture or shade will lead to rot and pest problems. Plant it at the edge of a garden, on top of a rock wall to encourage trailing, or tumbing down a bank. A few plants planted together help to create a mat of foliage for a ground cover.

    This plant is a near native- its range extends to Ontario's border.
