Mail Order Natives in Lee, Florida carries a. tomentosa, but they don't ship again until October, same with Woodlander's in Aiken, SC, and as I recall they carry a. tomentosa, too. Pine Ridge Gardens in London, Arkansas, carries it, and Mary Ann ships in summer if she still has any to ship - it's a small nursery, so it may be next year before she has any. Niche Gardens in North Carolina has it and ships in summer, but they're a little bit more expensive than the others. Sunlight Gardens in east TN carries a. macrophylla, which is almost identical to a. tomentosa, but likes the more northerly areas - it would undoubtedly do good for you, Kerry. Depending on what part of TN you're in, you might be able to drive to Sunlight Gardens, which is in Andersonville, I think.

Miss Sherry-

Sunlight Gardens is where I got my dutchman's pipe I have now. They are only 20 minutes away but I think they won't have any more til next year, also.

Thanks-

Kerry

I have Aristolochia fimbriata and tomentosa in pint sized containers. They have all recently been defoliated by caterpillars and some are starting to grow back.

All of my online sales go to support the establishment of a biological preserve in the northern Big Thicket, and/or preserving threatened land along the San Jacinto River in Montgomery County, Texas that is rich biodiversity.

Hi Kerry, I order from Shady Oak Butterfly Farms,
and never had a problem with their orders, try emailing
Edith, she might have what you need.

The last time I checked out Shady Oaks, the only type aristolochia they carried was the tropical vines, which are fine for the polydamas swallowtails of south and central Florida, but toxic for the pipevine swallowtails of the rest of the country.

Sorry but previous post has the wrong email address
I just created it and left out "2007".

The best deal on A. tomentosa can be found at the link below, which is from Mail Order Natives and they are still shipping.

My prices are a little higher at times, but I do occasionally run sales and will always consider offers.

I can also locate plants that are not listed in my store.

Please consider my store when shopping for plants. The money that I raise from my store goes back to nature.

I am currently raising money, and have set aside a good deal of my own money, to acquire extremely biologically diverse land along the San Jacinto River that is threatened by strip mining. It is truely an aweful sight what is left behind. This is where I grew up, and it breaks my heart to see the forest turned into a desert in the name of more concrete. I have enjoyed the forest and all the creatures that inhabit this area all my life so I know just how rich this area is.

I guess Amy changed her policy about not shipping in the summer, Shawn?
"Progress" breaks my heart, too!
MissSherry

I am unaware of their previous policies, but they have quite a few being offered currently for a very good price, accessible via the link.

My goodness - Amy's put her plants on Ebay! I know she uses PayPal, which is owned by Ebay or vice versa, but I didn't know that regular businesses offered their wares there.

Forest Farm is another resource for Aristolochia. They are located in Oregon but their plants are really awesome! I've received a lot of excellent plants from them. They are not ground shipping to the East (will resume in October) right now but are shipping via AIR. I'd check them out! Air shipping is expensive, I know...probably close to $100 depending upon the size of the plant.
