The White Veined Dutchman's Pipe is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial that serves as a charming groundcover or a spiller plant for containers and hanging baskets . Its most notable feature is its beautiful blue-green, heart-shaped leaves, which are dramatically marked with prominent silver-white veins, adding a bright pop of color to shaded areas . Throughout the summer, it produces small but fascinating flowers that give the plant its name. These 1-inch, tubular blooms are shaped like a curved, old-fashioned Dutch smoking pipe, with a flared opening that reveals a intricate pattern of yellowish-brown to maroon and is often fringed with delicate hairs . This plant is also a valuable addition to a butterfly garden, as it is a larval host for the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly
