The Great Wall of Florida Pipevine

Pipevine in a Florida Butterfly Garden- which two native pipevine species are host plant options for pipevine swallowtails across much of the eastern US? — Rosemary’s Florida Butterfly Garden

Community member ‘Rosemary’ planted this pipevine in her Longwood Florida butterfly garden just last year.

Rosemary says: “I planted this pipevine last year along with a passion vine. This year the blooms are amazing and the butterflies are starting to arrive.”

If you’re looking for a climbing vine that is a host plant option for pipevine swallowtails try:

1. Aristolochia durior or macrophylla (big leaf pipevine) – native to the eastern US and recommended for USDA hardiness zones 4a-8b.
