Notes

Like Winecup, the Annual Winecup flowers are also a striking shade of purple. This one gets pretty tall, and can be easily grown from seed. Looks great in a meadow, or for spring color in a flower bed.

Know the Plant Bat IRL?

We have lots of volunteers every year, but it’s easiest to grow this one from seed. I can collect seeds in late spring upon request.
