Aristolochia tomentosa – Dutchman’s Pipe
Dutchman’s Pipe, Aristolochia tomentosa, has many delightful features that make it a must-have. It is a Missouri and Illinois native perennial vine. Large heart-shaped leaves densely grow on vigorous twining stems. Its rapid growth covers pillars, posts, trellises, arbors, fences, or walls quickly. It rapidly grows to 20-30′ tall. It makes a good selection for a butterfly garden. In summer, green and yellow flowers shaped like tobacco pipes appear. This is the larval host plant for the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly, a beautiful black and blue large butterfly.
Designated a Plant of Merit by the Missouri Botanical Gardens for its excellent ornamental value and ease of care.
Plant in full sun to part shade. Add organic matter or compost when planting. Prefers rich, moist soils. Intolerant of dry soils. May be cut back in late winter to control growth.
