Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium)
Hedge Bindweed photographed off of the Gillies Lake Promenade in the Gillies Lake Conservation Area located in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
Calystegia sepium is a plant with showy white flowers. However, because of its quick growth, clinging vines and broad leaves, it can overwhelm and pull down cultivated plants including shrubs and small trees. It's aggressively self-seeding (seeds can remain viable as long as 30 years) and the success of its creeping rhizomes (they can be as long as 3–4 m) cause it to be a persistent weed and have led to its classification as a noxious weed
