Best Pipevine Plant for Zone 6?

9 years ago

I am looking for the best Pipevine plants for PA. I have some shade but mostly full or part sun. Any suggestions? I read the readily available hardy dutchman's pipevine is poisonous to cats.

A. macrophylla (durior) is hardy to Zone 4 and suitable for Pipevine Swallowtails.

Ditto to Aristolochia macrophylla, which has small flowers. The tropical ones have big flowers, and they're the ones unsuitable for our pipevine swallowtails.

You might also be able to grow A. fimbriata, a low growing plant that reseeds itself easily. A. virginica/serpentaria/Virginia snakeroot is good, but the plant is so small you need a lot of them to feed even a few PVS cats.

A. macrophylla, the big vine, is best.
