The listing, 5+ Elegant Dutchman's Pipe Vine Seeds has ended.
Elegant Dutchman's Pipe Vine "Aristolochia elegans". Zones 8-10, annual elsewhere or greenhouse. Grow in light shade. Attracts hummingbirds.
Commonly called calico flower, Aristolochia elegans is a species of flowering vine native to Brazil. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant both for its heart-shaped evergreen leaves and its unusual flowers, which possess a curving, tubular shape and a maroon coloration with intricate white markings. Aristolochia elegans will grow from seed year-round since it is a tropical species, but the seeds must be provided with warmth, very bright light, and moist soil.
The require average moisture but will endure a little dryness and still do ok, but should not be too soggy. Also in Zone 8 the tops will probably be killed off by freezing but will return in the spring. I am not sure about fertilization. This is all assuming F&W mean food and water?
From what I understand they are a pretty hardy, perennial vine in the zones listed. I know they can become invasive in Florida and will reseed themselves there.
