Deep Durable Daybloomer

European Bindweed Blossom has a long bloom period, stretching from spring through late fall, with blossoms that open only for 1 day growing on one of the toughest of all vines, with "roots that go down to China", reaching 20 feet in depth, difficult to eradicate, for 1 plant can produce up to 500 seeds that remain viable for 50 years, and the deep, extensive root system stores carbohydrates and proteins and allows it to sprout repeatedly from fragments and rhizomes following removal of above-ground rapid growth capable of growing over anything in its path as well as by both seed and root buds

 

Wie eine wunderschöne Zierpflanze rankt sich die Ackerwinde mit ihren zarten trichterförmigen Blüten an den Stengeln von Maispflanzen und anderen Ackerfrüchten hoch, das freut das Auge des Laien und ärgert den Bauern
