Planting Native Pipevine Aristolochia tomentosa in Alleyway Garden

In today's episode, I plant Aristolochia tomentosa, which is the native pipevine. In the video, I show the bonap map, which features the native range for this plant in green. Dark green is native to state, whereas the light green is native to those counties. So, if you know I live in Knox County, TN, then you will see it is not native to my county, but it is to my state. I'm still trying to get my hands on macrophylla, which is native to my county. Macrophylla is also the one with more drought resistance. Both of these pipevines feed the native Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly. This is why I am planting them. I'll be adding fencing and trellises asap for the vines to grow onto. I hope you enjoy this one!

We don't have Swallowtails in the UK and this vine isn't grown much, so it was interesting to learn about it. Thanks

[@awildapproach]

You're welcome! :) Thank you for checking this out. Swallowtail butterflies are what got me started, and now I love pretty much all the critters that show up. The chipmunks, for example, are one of my favorite creatures to watch. :) Happy gardening!

Good job! Please share how Pipe vine is doing next year.

[@awildapproach]

Thanks so much! I will definitely do updates if there's anything to report. :)

Darn, I'm guessing Overhill is out of macrophylla? I remember them having some earlier this year, but I don't know if I have any space whatsoever for a vine.

[@awildapproach]

I thought they were out, but I got in touch with someone there again and they found a couple for me, so I added macrophylla to the area, too. You'll see that video come out soon. :) I'm actually going to be working on the editing today. Hehe. But yeah, they have some, but limited quantities. I've already told my native plant group I'm in, too, so they may be out by the time you get in touch. But if you call them, ask Matthew if they have any left. He's the one that knows. The others who work there may not know. Just FYI.

[@awildapproach]

As for space, yeah, you'll want to put them where they have room to climb. I'd love for mine to cover my garage. :)

[@embrustzwei]

@@awildapproach Ah, you already solved it then, great! Hoping for more swallowtails in your future.

[@awildapproach]

@@embrustzwei Thank you! Me, too. :)
