Cultivation
The purple poppy-mallow is one of the most faithful plants in production of vivid blankets of colors according to writer Claude A. Barr. Each plant can cover a great deal of ground with masses of its interestingly cut leaves and many wine-crimson cup shaped flowers. In suitably sandy or well draining soils each plant will produce a large parsnip like root. A good water thrifty ground cover.{{cite book |last1=Barr |first1=Claude A. |title=Jewels of the plains : wild flowers of the Great Plains grasslands and hills |date=1983 |publisher=University of Minnesota Press |location=Minneapolis |isbn=0-8166-1127-0 |page=51}}
