Brazilian Dutchman’s Pipe

Brazilian Dutchman’s Pipe (giant pelican plant, aristolochea gigantea) will be the talk of the neighborhood! This woody vine brings plenty of healthy, heart shaped leaves and produces enormous, exotic blooms in deep burgundy mottled with white patterning. Blooms can measure upwards of 10 inches long. Native to Central and South America, this perennial vine prefers warm temperatures and won’t survive in areas that dip below freezing. Aristilocia Gigantea like full sun to part sun and like some afternoon shade in southern gardens.
