(Birthwort)
Pretty heart-shaped leaves and small yellow flowers on birthwort brings an aire of oddity and beauty to the perennial border. An upright and then arching herbaceous perennial native to southern Europe, it will creep its rhizomes (underground stems) to form a clump.
The light to medium green leaves are spade- or heart-shaped and are pretty as they line the stems that are first upright and then begin to weep. In late spring and early summer, small light yellow flowers occur in small clusters in...

(Dutchman's Pipe)
Foremost grown for its lush green, large heart-shaped leaves, Dutchman's pipe also bears small, pipe-like flowers in late spring. A heavy, deciduous vine native to the woodlands of the Appalachians in the eastern United States, the flowers are normally well-hidden by the foliage and do not smell of rotting flesh like other members of Aristolochia.

The throat of the uniquely curved, flared and tubular flower is yellow. The vine's large green leaves are heart-shaped.
Giant Dutchman's pipe is a very fast...

(Calico Flower, Elegant Dutchman's Pipe)
Heart-shaped leaves add beauty year round, but the striped and mottled cream and burgundy-purple blossoms of calico flower are the talk of the town, shaped like a curving pipe with flared horn and smelly fragrance! An evergreen tropical vine native to Brazil, these infamously scented blossoms occur in summertime.
The light to medium green leaves are kidney- or heart-shaped, and are rather small when compared to others; the soft woody stems coil around things for support. In the heat of summer,...
