The '''poppy mallow''' (''Callirhoe'') is a [[genus]] of nine species in the [[mallow]] family ([[Malvaceae]]), native to the [[prairie]]s and [[grassland]]s of [[North America]]. Of the nine species, some are [[Annual plant|annual]] and some [[Perennial plant|perennial]] plants.
Poppy mallow [[leaf|leaves]] are alternate and palmately lobed. The [[flower]]s are cup-shaped and brightly colored.
The plants prefer a hot and dry situation, and a well-drained sandy soil.
The '''Prairie Poppy Mallow''' ''Callirhoe involucrata'' is a low-growing perennial with a large [[taproot]] and hairy stems. Flower petals range from [[Cerise (color)|cerise]] to [[red]]dish [[violet (color)|violet]] with a white base. It grows to 30 cm high and spreads 60–70 cm wide. It is widely recommended to [[garden]]ers in the [[Western United States]] as a plant that is showy without being water-hungry.
