Dutchmans Pipe
Dutchman's Pipe, Aristolochia durior, is primarily grown for foliage. Dutchman's Pipe is an extremely vigorous vine that is often grown because its large, heart-shaped leaves make an excellent screen. It is used for covering buildings and as a screen for porches. The flowers are shaped like a Meerschaum pipe but are not highly ornamental. The plant adapts to a wide range of growing conditions. It is native to the Eastern U. S. and grows best in full sun or partial shade. This deciduous, perennial plant should be trained on a trellis or arbor to encourage upright growth. The small flowers are a favorite food for pipe vine swallowtail butterfly larvae and will attract birds. ... get more information
Ivy - Yellow Ripple The Yellow Ripple Ivy, Hedera Helix, is a slower growing, prostrate variety with zig-zag stems. It has medium large, three- to five- lobed leaves, with each lobe drawn to a long, tapered point. The creamy yellow margins contrast with gray green centers. Hederas are one of the most useful group of plants for the garden that we have. The wide range of varieties now available give colour and form all the year round. |
