Identification and management tips
- Field bindweed is a deep-rooted perennial vine with twining stems that can reach 6 ft in length.
- Flowers are trumpet-shaped, and range in color from light pink to white.
- For best results, control methods should be used throughout several growing seasons; success in controlling this weed requires the prevention of seeds, competition from more desirable vegetation and vigilance in removing new growth.
