Hedge Bindweed (Convolvulus sepium)

Hedge bindweed, a vine, can be found along the Wildlife Loop (map).

The pink-tinted, trumpet shaped flowers have white stripes on the fused petals and grow to about two inches; on Assateage, the flowers usually come out in July. The wedge-shaped leaves can grow up to about four inches long.

Hedge bindweed twines around other plants for support.
