\"Callirhoe<\/a>As spring has turned to summer, so my attention has turned to the Native Plant Garden<\/a> meadow. It changes daily now, with new plants offering their voices to the swelling chorus. One of my very favorites is Bush\u2019s poppymallow, Callirhoe bushii<\/em>. Set among fine grasses, golden tickseed, and brilliant white wild quinine, its white-eyed magenta cups demand attention.<\/p>\n

Happy in average or dry soil, Bush\u2019s poppymallow loves a sunny site and will flower throughout the summer and sporadically into the early fall. In our meadow, its loosely sprawling stems pop up through its neighbors, creating lovely and spontaneous living bouquets. It has seeded itself around gently, but editing is easy if you wish. All Callirhoe<\/em> have taproots which makes them very drought tolerant, but also very difficult to move once established.
