I am looking for two CHEMICAL-FREE plants each of the two native pipevines, Aristolochia macrophylla & A. tomentosa
I can find seeds but since I'm starting late, I'd prefer plants or good cuttings. If cuttings, may need a few more to cover mortality. Anyway, is there anyone in the KY-OH-IN-TN-WV-VA area (or?) who wants to swap, sell, or point the way? Any help or leads are appreciated. THANKS!

I've been growing A. tomentosa for two seasons now. I still can't seem to get A macrophylla. Anyone have any?

Where did you source the A. tomentosa ?

These vines sure look like something I should have seen when out on long walks through the wilds... I can't say that I recall ever seeing one.

Definitely a plant to be on the look out for...

I googled sources...
found this for your Aristolochia macrophylla:

That can be... Poor placement, legacy plants, etc. But, all those plants exist in natural settings without acting like kudzu. Several of them are within my block and several surrounding urban blocks in my urban settings. A local university has trumpet vine intentionally planted on the walls of a parking garage. Hummingbird heaven during season.
