I realise yours is an American site, but some users of the internet here in Australia may not realise that. You should include a disclaimer that, here in Australia, Dutchman's Pipe is an ongoing threat to the vulnerable Richmond Birdwing Butterfly. The RBB normally lays its eggs on only one vine (Pararistolochia praevenosa - Common Name Richmond Birdwing Vine). The Dutchman's Pipe emits a similar but stronger odour than the RB Vine and the RBB will lay its eggs on it in preference to the RB Vine. However, Dutchman's Pipe is poisonous to the RB Caterpillars and kills them. Garry PS - Wikipedia incorrectly all sit the second smallest of our Birdwing Butterflies but it is one of the largest of all Australian Butterflies and State Government is promoting the growing of the RB Vine and destruction of the Dutchman's Pipe.
Thank you for the information and I have passed it on to our Editors!
Did you know that here in tropical north Queensland, Australia the Birdwing Butterfly breeds on this vine if its the vine that is native to Australia. The European Dutchman's pipe vine is toxic to them jeanwaddell46@bigpond.com
Very interesting! Thank you! There is another interesting piece of information about them. They are considered "almost" carnivorous. They attract insects to the flowers. They get trapped inside, and die. When the flowers fall off the insects are returned to the soil, where they become nutrients. Very interesting way of doing things.
2 pipevine questions: First, I planted a Dutchman's Pipevine about 1 month ago. It continues to get Brown spots on the leaves, but not all leaves. It's in full sun in central Fl. It's mulched and watered by soaker hose. Is it fungal, bacterial, or just bad soil? (See photo of 3 leaves) Second, I planted what was supposed to be wooly pipeline 1 wk ago in partial sun. Now it's starting the same pattern (see photo of 2 leaves). Help!
It would seem, since these are affecting two of the same species, that there is a fungal infection present in the soil. You will have to cure this, if it is curable. This can be done by applying dolomitic lime, and wettable sulfur to all of the infected areas. This will kill off any infection that is able to be killed, and bring the soil back to proper pH. After about 2 weeks, you should be able to replant.
Here is an article that will give you more information on the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/dutchmans-pipe/growing-dutchmans-pipe-vine.htm
Attached is the photo of 3 leaves for the 1st question on my "Brown spot on Dutchman's Pipevine" question.
I live in New Hampshire and was wondering if dutchmans pipe could winter over. What if it was cut back in the fall & heavily mulched, would that work?
This unique vine is hardy in zones 8-10.
It would not winter over in a cold climate.

My pipe vine has many dead leaves. As soon as I remove them, more come. The leaves lighten and then turn brown and dry. It receives the morning sun and I water it well. Last year I had no such problems. What should I do.
Initially, the plant uses its energy mainly for growing new leaves, hence yearly new shoots are rather sparse, especially during the first few years. Foliage from May to November. The vine doesn't look “straggly” in winter, as the sparse new shoots keep their decorative light green color. The older, perennial shoots are light grey.
Pipe Vine are generally disease free.
From your image though I do think it appears to be a fungus issue.
I would use a fungicide on the vine and see if the appearance improves.

My Dutchman's Pipe is spreading throughout my lawn. How do I stop this. I have been pulling out the vines as I see them.
