Sea Bindweed is possibly the easiest to identify of the troublesome Bindweed family, since it is characteristically found close to the sea (except for much of Scotland), and has kidney-shaped fleshy leaves which are quite different to those of the bindweed you are forever pulling out of your garden! A rather attractive flower (once you have realised that it doesn't threaten gardens) it is a native perennial, usually prostrate on the ground and trailing for up to one metre. The little to big pink funnel- or bell-shaped flowers have five creamy-white stripes.
