Aristolochia anyone?

Post by canadianplant » Sat Aug 31, 2013 8:32 am

Just wondering if anyone on here has grown any of the aristolochia species, namely A macrophyllia and durior. These guys are native to NE North america, yet have families down all the way to mexico, which lots of people in the north grow as an annual. The northern types dont have the large visually appealing flowers, yet they have the speed and large heart shaped leaves of the more tropical ones.

Was wondering if anyone knew where to order these guys or seeds or if anyone here has had any experience growing any of these/

The Dutch Pipe is quite common in Toronto so check an availability next spring. A best place to check is the Humber Nurseries. They have a lot of various stuff during the season.
