| Identification | Black Bindweed is an annual, slender, climbing vine that may reach 3 feet long. The leaves are well-spaced, ovate, taper-tipped, and cordate at the base (or hastate at base with backward pointing lobes). The small flowers grow in leaf axils on short to lengthy stalks, greeniush white and often tinged pink. From our native species of Fallopia, it is told mainly by its dull black seeds (vs. glossy black seeds). | |
