This plant is used as a groundcover, and its beautiful 2-inch wine-colored, cup-shaped flowers grace the garden. The flowers hang on long cord-like stems that weave into the plants around them, almost looking like they are floating around other plants in garden beds. Also known as purple poppy mallow, they are great in sandy soil, rock gardens and cascading over walls. Winecups will go dormant in winter, shrinking to just a few leaves above the ground. But beware, rabbits find this plant delicious.
