Aristolochia californica

These have been painfully slow to mature but I finally have a few big enough to sell.

Little pinkish brown jugs about 1½ inches across are produced very profusely on the leafless stems in early spring. The leaves appear soon after and are soft green and heart-shaped. A vigorous but not overwhelming climber. Here it grows well in sun or shade and is completely hardy. Some early flowers may be frosted so a sheltered spot among shrubs is best.

A brilliant plant – I love it.
