Dutchman pipe vine?

Post by Annie »

I have never seen this before. Was at a nursery, and their plants were on sale, seen this and it is really pretty. But didn't get it because I know nothing about them! The leaves are heart shaped, remindes me of a morning glory.
Any info on this plant? I may have to go back and get it LOL!

I took a wildlife class and this vine was recommended.
There is a butterfly that favors this vine.

It has a lot of foliage compared to blooms and it makes a good quick screen. It is supposed to reseed a lot. I have been looking for a start but have never found it around here.
Never before have so few with so much promised to take away so much from so many and then laugh their asses off as the so many with so little vote for the so few with so much.
