Hi,I have this pipevine,I would like to trade it for the coral bean seeds.Debbie

Weebay, I ws'd A. tomentosa 3 years ago, with great success. Soaked in hot water for 24 hours; sowed on February 20th; sprouted May 14th. I got between 5-10 sprouts, and potted up about 5. Well, I never figured out where to plant them, and so they are still in pots! Unfortunately 3 have died off with only 2 healthy plants left in 1 gallon pots. They probably all would have survived if they had been planted in the ground or potted up to larger containers sooner. But, winter-sowing makes starting stuff from seed so easy, that I have this problem with sprouting vines, shrubs and trees, and not knowing where to plant them! Supposedly, A. tomentosa and A. macrophylla are the only 2 pipevine species that will be hardy in our colder zones. They grow well in partial shade. Aristolochia is a host plant for the Pipevine Swallowtail, which I have never seen around here, but may be resident in your area. I ordered the seed from Easywildflowers.com and they still sell it. Very nice guy runs that company, generous quantities, great germination, and I shared many of the extra seeds in SASBEs. Still have some left, but not sure if they are still viable?? Somewhere I read these lose viability quickly; however I am meticulous about storing seeds, so it wouldn't surprise me if they sprouted fine.

Hi Origami Master, I'm interested in your Dutchmans pipe seeds have lots of tropical seeds let me know Cheers Jeff

I have 3 types of A. durior. I can get starts from one, vernalized seed from another. I would like a A. tomentosa start. Thanks Patrick
