Field Bindweed

Convolvulus arvensis

Field Bindweed (also known as Morning Glory) is one of the hardest to remove weeds in the Salish Sea. Morning glory flowers range in color from bright white to purple and close at night to conserve energy.  

Deep roots, vining tendencies, and thin stems make pulling or spraying virtually impossible without damaging native plants. Repeatedly pulling & digging roots can slow their spread.
