Field bindweed is a summer perennial member of the morningglory family. The leaves are arrowhead-shaped and appear alternately on long creeping stems. Field bindweed has an extensive root system that may extend up to 15 feet underground. The flowers are white to pink, funnel-shaped and approximately 1 inch across. Field bindweed spreads by either seed or rhizomes. It is found throughout the United States, but tends to be more of a problem in the western states. Growth is generally in rich and sandy or gravelly soils.
