Dutchmans Pipe (Aristolochia durior)

The small flowers are a favorite food for pipe vine swallowtail butterfly larvae and will attract birds. Dutchman's Pipe, Aristolochia durior, is primarily grown for foliage. The flowers are shaped like a Meerschaum pipe but are not highly ornamental. Dutchman's Pipe is an extremely vigorous vine that is often grown because its large, heart-shaped leaves make an excellent screen. It is used for covering buildings and as a screen for porches. This deciduous, perennial plant should be trained on a trellis or arbor to encourage upright growth. Hurry while supplies last! * $10.95
