Callirhoe involucrata var. tenuissima (Mexican Wine Cups)

Sun to Part SunZone: 4-9 6" tall Origin: Mexico

Web-Only! If regular wine cups don't fit into your color scheme (they do clash with old blue Chevys and flue-pipe planters), then here is the plant for you. With a groundcover growth habit to 3' wide, this cutleaf variety from 7,000' elevation in Los Lirios, Coahuila State, Mexico (Yucca Do collection # 51-8) is just what the color-echo doctor ordered. At the end of the spreading branches are masses of 2-3" wide light lavender-purple flowers...the flowers last until midsummer... much longer than those of the species. When flowering is finished, it shrinks back to the original rosette and waits for weather to cool. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
