Dutchman's Pipe Vine: Two Species, Different Flowers

Interested in night-blooming flowers? Dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia macrophylla) thrives as a perennial deciduous vine in Georgia, though its flowers are modest. Its annual cousin, calico vine (Aristolochia elegans), also called Dutchman's pipe, steals the show with dramatic checkered purple blooms.

Both are vigorous climbers requiring substantial support—provide an arbor at least eight feet tall and wide for either species.
