Aristolochia macrophylla
Aristolochia macrophylla
Common Name: Dutchman's Pipe

This deciduous woody vine is an old-fashioned favorite grown for its large, heart-shaped, glossy green leaves (6-12" long) which can quickly cover sun porches, verandas, pillars, posts, trellises, arbors, fences or walls. It is commonly called Dutchman's pipe because the unusual, 2" long flowers look something like Dutch smoking pipes. They are quite interesting so be sure to look behind the dense foliage, which usually hides them. This is the larval host plant for the blue and black pipevine swallowtail butterfly.

Benefits:

  • Grows quickly
  • Provides dense shade
  • Grows well in moist soil
  • Host plant for pipevine swallowtail butterfly
