I received several in a trade and they are great! The local Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars love it. It has proved a great larval host. Very pretty looking leaves too...if only the caterpillars wouldn't eat them to the stem :o) But that's why I got them...for the caterpillars. Gotta love it!

I love this plant! I bought mine from the Houston Museum of Natural Science giftshop in June. They have a big atrium called the Cochrell Butterfly Center - awesome! The museum was selling various butterfly host plants, and this one was just so unusual looking - I had to have it! It has flourished in dappled shade, and it has produced many seeds. Strange flowers. Low maintenance.
4 vendors have this plant for sale.
