Callirhoe digitata, the fringed poppy mallow or standing wine cup, is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to the U.S. states of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Alabama, and introduced to Illinois.[1] A perennial with magenta flowers, in the wild it prefers to grow in sunny areas with drier, more alkaline soils.[2] Recommended for both formal and informal plantings, it is hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8, and once established it is drought resistant.[2]
