Virginia snakeroot starter plant (Aristolochia serpentaria) (dormant)

Virginia snakeroot starter plant (Aristolochia serpentaria). Small woodland pipevine. Unique inconspicuous flowers low to the ground. Only gets around 1 ft tall. Like a rich shady woodland setting. Host plant for the pipevine swallowtail.

These have gone dormant for the year, but still have excellent root growth and can be planted anytime the ground isn’t frozen. Just treat as is though it were still growing and water through any prolonged dry spells. They will continue to grow roots for next season, despite having no foliage. If ordered in the fall they may still have some foliage or yellowing foliage but in late fall or winter will just be old stems. Planting dormant plants is a great way to get plants established for next season!

All of our plants are grown in biodegradable fabric pots. The containers are around 4″x4 1/2″ I recommend removing the pot for planting, but they can be left on.
