FREE: Pipe Vine (Swallowtale Butterfly Host)

The listing, Pipe Vine (Swallowtale Butterfly Host) has ended.

These seeds have been treated and are ready for planting.

Needs a wall,trellis or other place in the sun to grow up.

Choose a spot in full sun with some protection from the late afternoon sun. The soil can be of average fertility, but it must be well draining.

Plant Dutchman's-pipe about 6 to 8 inches away from the trellis. Dig a hole with a garden trowel that is slightly larger than the root ball. Slip the roots into the hole, and firm the soil around the root ball. Water the transplant well.

Spread about 1 inch of garden compost in an 18-inch ring on the soil around the planting site. This will both mulch the soil and provide nutrients to the vine.

Fertilize beginning the first spring after initially planting Dutchman's-pipe. Use slow-release, granulated fertilizer such as 10-15-10, which will help the plant produce more flowers.
