Aristolochia fimbriata | white-veined hardy dutchman's pipe

ARCHIVED PLANT. This page serves as reference only. We are no longer propagating this plant.

White Veined Hardy Dutchman's Pipe is one of 350 species in the Aristolochia family - who knew! A. fimbriata is an unusual deciduous ground cover hardy only in zones 7 and up. We grow it for its rounded heart-shaped green leaves that are heavily veined with silver-white and curious brown and yellow fringed flowers. The slender trailing stems look beautiful cascading down the sides of a container.

One of the host plants for the caterpillars of pipevine swallowtail butterflies.

Easy to grow and easy to overwinter in an unheated basement in colder zones.
