Hedge Bindweed

Overview

Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium) is a common perennial weed found in many parts of the world. The plant is characterized by a characteristic trailing or twining stem, up to three meters in length, clinging to the stems of other plants and walls as it climbs. Its leaves are bright green and heart-shaped, and its white or pinkish flowers are held in trumpet-shaped clusters between June and September. The plant's roots are thick and creeping, and its seeds have small barbs that help them become attached to fur or feathers and spread throughout the environment. Hedge Bindweed is considered a noxious weed and can spread quickly, making it difficult to control.
