A vigorous deciduous vine grown for its large heart-shaped leaves. Once established it soon smothers walls, fences and even entire buildings. Trained up a trellis or an arbor, it can also provide shade, or privacy from neighbors who are too close for comfort. The 11⁄2 inch brownish purple flowers look like small saxophones or, yes, Dutchmen's pipes.
