Winecups is an elegant native perennial with a low sprawling habit and deeply lobed leaves. The wine-red, poppy-like flowers that bloom from late spring through summer are cup-shaped, hence the name Winecups, and close each evening and reopen in the morning. Winecups is a low-care plant that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It's drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for xeriscaping or low-water gardens.
