Allegheny Vine Adlumia fungosa 25 Seeds

Adlumia fungosa, commonly known as climbing fumitory or Allegheny vine, is a graceful biennial climber native to the cool, moist woodlands of the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. This delicate plant produces slender, twining stems that can extend up to 3 meters long, allowing it to climb over shrubs, rocks, or fences in shaded forest clearings and ravines. Its foliage is soft and lacy, composed of finely divided, light green leaves that lend the vine a feathery texture. During its second year, Adlumia fungosa bursts into bloom with elegant racemes of tubular, pinkish-white flowers that arch downward, giving the plant a misty, romantic appearance from midsummer through early autumn. These blossoms attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, ensuring the plant’s natural reseeding before it dies back at the end of its biennial life cycle. Preferring rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil and partial shade, the species thrives in undisturbed woodland habitats and along rocky slopes where moisture is consistent. Because of habitat loss and forest succession, Adlumia fungosa has become increasingly rare in parts of its native range, making it a prized and conservation-worthy addition to native plant gardens. Its ephemeral presence and delicate, climbing habit embody the quiet beauty of North America’s temperate forests.
