Hedge Bindweed Calystegia sepium
So beautiful but.........A widespread and common plant of hedgerows and an absolute pest in gardens and allotments. Never has one plant given me so much hard work. It can grow from the tiniest piece of root as well as setting seed. The roots go down over 2 feet deep as I know from digging a trench to try and eradicate it. At present in the garden it is bound around and smothering my Flowering Blackcurrant up to a height of over 4 Metres. In my garden 31st July 2014 Stafford UK
