Aristolochia fimbriata (5 seeds)

Aristolochia fimbriata (price per 5 seeds)

Common name: White-veined Dutchman’s pipe

Rounded, heart-shaped leaves with a pewter patterning overlaid on green arise all along the serpentine, smooth stems. The fabulous flowers are so decadent!  The inflated perianth tube is chalky white with pale green veining and it bends right back so that the enlarged lobe, instead of being a hood as in most other species, is in fact a downward pointing, embossed heart-shape in a maroon and green seersucker, edged all around with fine skinny tentacles each dipped in blue ink.

Sowing instructions: Sow the seeds in summer in a well drained medium.

Locality: Ex Hort. Harvest: March 2024
