Aristolochia steupii often is found on the top of wishlists of Aristolochia enthusiasts.
It combines colourful flowers, relative hardiness and a compact growth.
Quite an easy plant to grow as it originates from very humid forests and streams near the Black Sea but (like other species of the pontica complex) a horrible plant to propagate.
The flowers are quite tiny compared to the related Caucasian Aristolochia species though.
