Hedge Bindweed in the GardenTags plant encyclopedia

Calystegia sepium

 

Hedge Bindweed

The bane of the gardener, bindweed is a pernicious, invasive weed, which climbs and entwines itself around plants, eventually choking them. The roots are pale - almost white - and very brittle. The smallest broken-off piece will sprout and form a new plant, making it very difficult to get rid of. The trumpet-shaped white flowers appear through Summer

From Early Spring TO Early Summer

In the unlikely event of wanting to cultivate what is generally regarded as a pernicious weed, then make sure you contain the growth of the roots, particularly, by containing them in a pot, without a hole in the bottom.
