Winecup(Callirhoe involucrata) is a hardy perennial that thrives in well-drained, rocky or sandy soils, making it perfect for Texas landscapes. Known as Winecup or Purple Poppy Mallow, its sprawling stems create a lush mat of foliage, and its vibrant chalice-shaped blooms bring long-lasting color from spring to fall. The stunning magenta flowers, which close after pollination, attract butterflies and bees while requiring minimal water, making this plant both drought-tolerant and wildlife-friendly.
