| Bindweed |
Field bindweed is a perennial weed that spreads from an extensive rootstock as well as from seed. Seed leaves are nearly square with a shallow notch at the tip. Plants sprouting from rhizomes lack seed leaves. Early true leaves are spade- or bell-shaped. Leaves on mature plants are similar to younger leaves but are lobed at the base. Leaves are attached to flattened petioles that are grooved on the upper surface. Stems may be several feet long and trail along the ground or climb on upright plants such as shrubs. Trumpet-shaped white to purplish white flowers close each afternoon and reopen the following day.
