*RETAIL - Aristolochia californica

This western native Dutchman's pipe, indigenous through western California and southwest Oregon, can be a vine to 8ft or so or a happily scrambling specimen. Either way, it is deciduous, with 3”, heart-shaped leaves and olive green stems that are quite attractive in their winter leaflessness. In spring and sometimes beyond into summer, light flowers appear -- the Dutchman's pipes of the common name -- often mottled or centered a maroon brown. Sun to part shade with afternoon protection in the hottest climates. Happy with extreme summer drought. Cold hardy to USDA zone 7. Host to the gorgeous Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.
