Wine Cups is a native American perennial with reddish-purple, bowl-shaped flowers in mid summer. I love this color.
Callirhoe involucrata is a drought tolerant, sprawling perennial. It looks good in the middle of an informal garden. Hardy in zones 3-9.
The seeds don't usually germinate indoors, but they should germinate if sown outdoors in the fall, although it may take a while. I've had seedlings appear in an area where the original plants were removed years earlier. Once you have an established plant in the garden, it will self sow, but I don't consider it invasive.

Sowing Callirhoe involucrata Seeds:
Scarify seeds by rubbing with sandpaper. Sow outdoors in the fall, 1/4" deep. Requires a long period of cold-moist stratification. Slow to germinate. Full sun.
