Field Bindweed

Also known as Perennial Morning Glory, Creeping Jenny, European Bindweed, Cornbind

Field bindweed is a resilient perennial vine notorious for its extensive root network, which can plunge deep underground and regenerate aggressively from severed fragments. Its trailing or twining stems readily scramble over neighboring vegetation, choking out crops and native plants in disturbed habitats across the globe. Delicately striped trumpet-shaped flowers open in full morning sun and close by afternoon, offering nectar to bees and hoverflies despite the plant's reputation as a troublesome weed.
