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.

giggle...a true 'seed geek' :0] One problem though-Dutchman is zone 8 and higher and can't survive your PA freeze. Also, because of its size and molten smell (a pheromone to attract pollinating insects) it is not good for indoors or the greenhouse. In fact one should consider placing it to the back of the garden for both of these reasons.

Yeah, I know about the zone thing, that is why I use the coolest room of my mobile home close to the water outlets & wash room as my grow room with hanging grow lights and hopefully a ceiling line hanging extension tubes for a water drip system. I will do my floor last, the center will be the drain, so I will build up the sides of the room floor so everything will eventually flow to center drain and the floor will be thick tiled ceramic. Will put up a few feet on wall either ceramic tiles or I think it is called formica board....smooth & washable side, back is board like what some folks use for showers or counter tops. So, I very interested.
