💡 Did you know?
Field Bindweed flowers can be pure white, pink, or pink-and-white striped — sometimes all three colour forms growing side by side in the same patch.
Field Bindweed's roots can reach over 2 metres deep and readily regrow from small fragments, which is why it's one of the most persistent weeds to remove from cultivated ground.
Often confused with
Hedge Bindweed (much larger white flowers
taller climbing habit)
Sea Bindweed (fleshy leaves
coastal only)
