Usually hairless, this climbing perennial plant can reach a height of well over 2m. It has arrowhead-shaped alternate leaves, and white or occasionally pink flowers 3 to 6cm in diameter in the form of broadly trumpet-shaped with five fused white sepals backed by two large non-overlapping bracts nearly half the length of the sepals. The flowers have creamy white centres.
Calystegia sepium, or hedge bindweed, is a perennial, herbaceous weedy vine or wildflower in the morning glory family. this vine climbs vertically and spreads horizontally, twinning around objects or other plants and tolerates nearly any growing conditions. it is known to produce allelopathic chemicals that inhibit the growth of other plants.
Light is an essential factor in maintaining plants. The rate of growth and length of time a plant remains active is dependent on the amount of light it receives. Light energy is used in photosynthesis, the plant's most basic metabolic process.
Simply apply the fertilizer around the base of the plant, extending to the drip line. For vegetables, place the fertilizer in a strip parallel to the planting row. Water-soluble fertilizers are faster acting but must be applied more frequently. This method gives plants food while you water.
Loamy soil is ideal for most garden plants because it holds plenty of moisture but also drains well so that sufficient air can reach the roots. Many gardeners complain of their garden soil being compacted and/or poorly drained.
Whether it be plastic or clay, make sure the pot you select has drainage holes in the bottom to prevent over-watering.
