TWT281 Dutchman's Pipe ( Aristolochia durior )
Annual. A fast-growing vine excellent for screening purposes; it will quickly create a dense screen and shade. The huge 8-10 in. wide, heart-shaped leaves are dark green with a coarse texture.
Dutchman's Pipe is a very vigorous native vine. It will create a thick green screen in a short period of time making it ideal for covering a fence, wall or strong trellis. It can grow to 30 feet tall in some cases.
It has large, dark green, heart-shaped leaves and very interesting flowers that are shaped like a small pipe. They are a few inches long and are a mahogony-cream color.
This vine plays an important role in the life of native Pipevine Swallowtail butterflies. The flowers provide nectar for the butterflies, and the leaves are an important food source for the caterpillars. The vigorous growth of this vine makes it easy to share the leaves with these beautiful insects.
This native plant grows best in moist, well-drained soil, in full to partial sun. It can reach heights of 30 feet tall. It is a good plant for having few pest or disease problems, and as a bonus it withstands urban pollution quite well.
