Winecups

Winecups is a native, low growing, spreading perennial flower that blooms throughout most of the summer.

It has deep green leaves spaced along the stems. The striking wine-colored flowers have five petals that grow in the shape of a cup. It grows well in a variety of soils and is useful for slopes and the edges of retaining walls since its long stems gracefully drape over rocks and walls. Little to no maintenance is required.

This is an excellent plant with nice foliage, excellent flowers, and drought-tolerance. Rabbits like to eat it when given the chance.
