Dutchmans Pipe
Dutchman's Pipe, Aristolochia durior, is primarily grown for foliage.
Dutchman's Pipe is an extremely vigorous vine that is often grown because its large, heart-shaped leaves make an excellent screen.
This deciduous, perennial plant should be trained on a trellis or arbor to encourage upright growth.
The small flowers are a favorite food for pipe vine swallowtail butterfly larvae and will attract birds.
It is used for covering buildings and as a screen for porches.
The flowers are shaped like a Meerschaum pipe but are not highly ornamental.
