Field bindweed is a vigorous perennial vine with a sprawling habit, typically forming dense mats. Its leaves are arrow-shaped, measuring up to 2 inches (5 cm) in length, and are arranged alternately along the stems. This plant is known for its trumpet-shaped flowers, which are white to pale pink, with a funnel form about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The vines can reach lengths of up to 6-7 feet (1.8-2.1 meters) and exhibit a twining growth that enables them to climb surrounding vegetation.
