Description:
Aristolochia watsonii, a North American native, is a vine known for its bronze-purple foliage that turns green in the shade. It produces small, bronze, bong-shaped flowers that attract pipevine swallowtails. This drought-tolerant plant grows on dry, rocky slopes and is toxic to humans. Its leaves are arrowhead-shaped and change color in response to sun and drought conditions. The plant blooms from April to October and has been used medicinally by Native Americans. It is found from Arizona to western Texas and is a favorite among rock gardeners.
