Pure, insidious, seething evil. Destroy. This will search out your plants and strangle them like hag-demons on babies. This is one of two common bindweeds in Philadelphia. the other being field bindweed, which can be differentiated by its rounded leaves. They are both evil, forget identification and destroy it wherever it rears its head. Be careful to properly dispose of the cut vines, as they will root and regrow at any given chance, do not compost it.
