Purple Poppy Mallow (Callirhoe involucrata) 3-pack of pots
Can’t be shipped.
Purple Poppy Mallow sprawls across the ground, creating an extensive mat of deep pink flowers that bloom for most of the summer and long into fall. It is a great native flower choice for planters, and eventually hangs out of the pot like a spindly wave petunia. In gardens, Purple Poppy Mallow creeps around but does not smother other flowers and grasses–making it a good companion flower.
