Callirhoe involucrata is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family known by the common names purple poppy-mallow,[3] winecup[4] and buffalo rose.[4] It is native to the Great Plains of the United States and adjacent areas in northern Mexico.

The leaves and stems die back in winter, showing at most a small rosette of green leaves immediately above the root crown.[5]

Cultivation

The purple poppy-mallow is one of the most faithful plants in production of vivid blankets of colors according to writer Claude A. Barr. Each plant can cover a great deal of ground with masses of its interestingly cut leaves and many wine-crimson cup shaped flowers. In suitably sandy or well draining soils each plant will produce a large parsnip like root. A good water thrifty ground cover.[5]
