IdentificationField Bindweed is a creeping vine, sometimes clambering over low vegetation. The arrowhead-shaped leaves are distinctive; they may be broad to narrow, but have sharp lobes on the base. The flowers grow on stalks from leaf axils, petals 15-20 mm long, white or white with some pink areas, the face of the flower much smaller (about the size of a nickel or a quarter) than our other species of Convolvulus (which are the size of a silver dollar).
