Field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis)
Field bindweed, also known as wild morning glory, is a prostrate or weakly climbing perennial plant native to Europe. It has become widely naturalized in North America, where it is often considered a serious weed. This plant, scientifically known as Convolvulus arvensis, twines around other plants, including crops, and grows along roadsides. It produces fragrant pink, white, or striped flowers, approximately 2 cm across, among arrow-shaped leaves. Field bindweed spreads from creeping underground stems.12
