Summary[edit] Description: Another picture of this splendid little plant (the magenta cups dotted about the undergrowth), this time in the front garden here. My only theory as to why this is not a lot more widely grown in the Uk is that it is not tidy enough. The flowering stems can trail about over a considerable distance (but do not root as they go) and therefore it needs to be allowed to wander about amongst other things. My experience with it so far is that it is perfectly hardy and easy in an ordinary soil in sun. Date: 28 June 2010, 15:20. Source: Callirhoe involucrata. Author: peganum from Small Dole, England.
