Synonym(s) Callirhoe papaver var. bushii Common name Bush's poppy mallow Family malvaceae Life cycle perennial (Z5-8) Flowers magenta (summer) Size 12-18" Light sun Cultural notes drought-tolerant, needs well-drained soil From seed scarify, germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below Seed ripens mid-August Supposedly a bit more erect than C. involucrata, but so far its sprawling habits in our garden are similar. The flowers are, to my eyes, just like involucrata's. The leaves have a different shape and color, though. Long tap root - difficult to transplant. Native to the central United States.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following areas: rock garden, the lane
