Hedge bindweed is a twining perennial climber, a species widely grown and naturally found across temperate regions. It spreads vigorously by underground rhizomes and climbs up hedges and fences, so it needs firm control in gardens.
Convolvulus sepium or Calystegia sepium (hedge bindweed) is a species of flowering plant in the family Convolvulaceae. It has a subcosmopolitan distribution throughout temperate regions of the North and South hemispheres.
Convolvulus sepium is toxic, containing calystegine alkaloids.
