Seeds of this beautiful tropical tender perennial vine called Aristolochiaceae Elegans or Calico flower. This exotic vine is hardy in zones 8a-10b and blossoms best in light shade and will stay evergreen all year in the above zones. A real attraction for the Swallowtail butterfly and you will see them come from miles around for this plant. The very unusual green/maroon moddled fragrant blossom isan attention getterand will form every 4" to 6" along the stem when it reaches about 6' - 8'. The plants will grown up to 20 feet if let climb on a structure. These seeds will take some patience as sometimes they can take up to 6 months to germinate. I do not use any chemicals on my plants and therefor at certain times of the year you are able to find nibbles here and there on the most of the host plants for butterflies. As with most all tropical plants, all parts of this plant are poisonous.

Germination instructions will be shipped with order.
