DUTCHMAN'S PIPE
Aristolochia elegans

✿ڿڰۣღڿڰۣ✿

Known as Dutchman's Pipe or Calico, this SUPER EASY to grow and fascinating vine with is huge velvety mottled-red blooms is likely to steal the attention from the rest of your garden beauties! As an addition to it heart shaped leaves and otherworldly speckled flowers, this vine also plays host to the huge Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly, a marvel in itself.

In warmer and tropical zones (especially Florida) this vine can become invasive due to its fast growth and perfect weather conditions. Cut back during winter and collect seeds to maintain its size and location.

Interesting Info: Though Dutchman's Pipe Vine appears to be carnivorous...the large blooms actually trap and release insects 'unharmed' the following day covered in pollen so they will continue to pollinate the rest of the vine.

ZONE: 8-12 HEIGHT: 6' Part shade.
Pest, disease, drought, humidity & heat resistant.

Seeds packaged in glassine bag. Color photo & instructions included.

ty sweetie :) I see I did fail to mention that during pollination the flowers send out a pheromone to attract insects which has an earthy molten scent when near the blooms and though not horrible to humans, its certainly not Channel perfumed :) Therefore due to both scent and the vines large growth habits, it is better to plant nearer the back of the garden on a sturdy fence or trellis.
