Native American Winecup is a striking perennial wildflower that brings authentic prairie charm and ecological value to native plant gardens and naturalized landscapes. This hardy variety grows 8 to 20 inches tall depending on local moisture and soil conditions, developing distinctive gray-green stems with coarsely lobed or deeply 5-lobed foliage that creates textural interest even before flowering begins. The flowers are the true showstopper—cup-shaped blooms that gradually open nearly flat as they mature, displaying rich violet to red-violet coloring, occasionally appearing in pure white. Individual flowers measure 1 to 2 inches across, with a distinctive cone-like central structure formed by the stamens and pistil that adds architectural interest to the bloom. The prolific flowering habit ensures continuous color throughout the growing season, creating a vibrant display in full sun settings. Winecup excels at attracting essential pollinators and beneficial insects, particularly bees and butterflies, making it invaluable for supporting local ecosystems and enhancing garden biodiversity. This native perennial demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established, thriving in well-drained soils with minimal supplemental water or fertilization. The compact growth habit makes it suitable for rock gardens, prairie restorations, wildflower meadows, and front-of-border placements where its delicate blooms can be fully appreciated.
