Introducing Aristolochia manshuriensis, an intriguing vine from Korea, eastern Siberia, and northeastern China. This deciduous, woody climber is sure to enchant with its distinctive apetalous flowers, each bearing a remarkably ornate calyx that mimics the shape of a Dutchman's pipe, elegantly suspended on a delicate stalk. The plant astonishes with its large, orbicular, palmately-veined leaves that are leathery to the touch and radiate a soothing light green color, spanning up to 11 inches in both length and width. The spring season unfolds its beauty further, revealing enticingly unique, trumpet-shaped flowers in tones ranging from yellow to brown, spanning 2-3" in length. It later produces gurken-like capsules, approximately 10-15 cm long, brimming with bountiful seeds. Grows best in USDA zones 4-8, the Aristolochia manshuriensis prospers splendidly in partially shaded areas, favoring moist and well-drained soil for ideal growth. Please be aware this plant contains aristolochic acids, known for their carcinogenic properties. Venture into the exotic with this remarkable climber, but handle with care.
