Aristolochia Leuconeura

The Aristolochia leuconeura, commonly known as pipevine, is a striking, evergreen climbing vine known for its unusual pipe-shaped red flowers and vibrant foliage. Native to the humid forests of Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Peru, this vine is a tropical beauty that brings a touch of the exotic to any garden or collection.

The pipevine grows to a height of 10-12 feet (occasionally reaching up to 20 feet) and features large, leathery, heart-shaped leaves that are bright green with eye-catching lemon-yellow veins. These bold leaves provide a stunning contrast to the small, pipe-like red flowers that bloom along the lower stems in June and July. The vine's woody, twining nature makes it perfect for training on trellises, fences, or pergolas.

A rare addition to any garden, the Aristolochia leuconeura is an excellent choice for plant enthusiasts looking to add a unique, tropical vine to their collection. This climber is easy to grow in warm, humid conditions and thrives in bright, indirect light, making it perfect for tropical gardens or large indoor spaces.
