description Hedge Bindweed Overview
Hedge bindweed (Calystegia sepium) is a perennial twining vine in the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae, native to temperate parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. Its stems climb by winding around hedgerows, fences, and other plants, and it bears large white funnel-shaped flowers, sometimes flushed pink, through summer. Vigorous and fast-growing, it is often treated as a weed in gardens and farmland, regenerating readily from root fragments.
