Convolvulus arvensis
Field 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. The flowers of field bindweed are smaller than those of the field bindweed, and are sometimes pink, and the stems are weaker.

Planting
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.
