Aristolochia pistolochia is a low perennial geophyte from southwest Europe and Morocco, grown from clusters of cylindrical tubers. It needs a dry, sunny spot with good drainage and is mainly grown by botanists and collectors rather than as a common garden plant.
Aristolochia pistolochia is a herbaceous plant in the family Aristolochiaceae endemic to Mediterranean areas across southwest Europe.
Aristolochia pistolochia is distributed throughout southwestern Europe, including the Iberian Peninsula (in Portugal and Spain), southern France, Corsica and Sardinia. It inhabits clearings of bushes, heaths or holm oaks groves, fallows and rocky areas in basal and montane floors.
