American Bindweed
Calystegia sepium subsp. americana
Overview
American Bindweed is an invasive vining plant native to North America. It is characterized by white trumpet-shaped flowers and arrow-shaped leaves. It is an perennial species which can spread quickly, forming dense mats of foliage. It is an aggressive invader of both disturbed and undisturbed soils. It grows in both sunny and shaded habitats and is most commonly seen along ditches, fields, forest edges and roadsides. Due to its ability to form dense mats, it can easily crowd out other native plants. Care should be taken to prevent its spread.
