Description

Callirhoe bushii has upward-facing, cup-shaped, magenta blooms for a long season on spreading plants that get about 18" tall. A perennial, Callirhoe bushii will weave through flower beds, but does not root at nodes. Very similar to C. involucrata but with a much more upright form.

An uncommon plant, Callirhoe bushii is native to the Ozark / Ouachita Range of Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma and occasionally in Missouri and Iowa. It is typically found in open woodlands, meadows, and on rocky dry slopes.

Also know as Poppy Mallow, Callirhoe bushii prefers full sun to part shade and medium to dry soils. Its deep central tap-root makes it very drought tolerant, once established, but also harder to move.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
