Note |
Formerly Convolvulus sepium, herbaceous perennial that twines around other plants, in a counter-clockwise direction. Because of its quick growth, clinging vines and broad leaves, it can overwhelm and pull down cultivated plants including shrubs and small trees. Its aggressive self-seeding and the success of its creeping roots (they can be as long as 3–4 m) cause it to be a persistent weed and have led to its classification as a noxious weed. |
