Hedge bindweed, Calystegia sepium, attacking a sweet pea plant. Also known as Bearbind, Bellbine, Devil's Guts, Hedge-Bell, Hell Weed, Withybind. Climbing herbaceous perennial, spreading by creeping underground stems which like to congregate near to retaining walls if present, and sometimes by seed. It is very invasive and will smother more delicate ornamental plants if allowed. Sap acts as a laxative.
