With these wine cups, you get lush green foliage with magenta flowers that rise up and shine all growing season. Butterflies and pollinators love this natural food source and this little native perennial packs a punch. It is a deer resistant and easy to grow ground cover that is great for naturalizing a small or large area. It works well in the front of a garden bed, or in a rock garden. It excels as spiller in containers and retaining walls and does well to complement and retain moisture for other plants.
