Bindweed care and planting and care in the open field

The bindweed is a member of the genus Convolvulus of the Bindweed family. This genus unites about 250 species. Their characteristic feature is the shape of the flower. In nature, these plants can be found in regions with subtropical and temperate climates. The scientific name of this genus comes from the Latin verb, which means "fold". The fact is that most species need support, as which they use other plants, twisting shoots around them. The most common species of the genus Bindweed is the field bindweed - this weed causes a lot of trouble for gardeners, and it is also often found in fields with agricultural crops.

Bindweed features

Bindweed has a wide variety of life forms. In natural conditions, one can meet bindweed, which are both perennials and annuals. They are shrubs or herbaceous plants, their creeping or erect shoots reach 400 cm in length. Creeping rhizomes have filamentous roots. Alternate solid simple leaf plates have petioles. They have a heart-shaped or arrow-shaped shape, and can also be serrated or lobed. The opening of flowers is observed in the early morning. They are placed in the sinuses of 1, 3 pieces or inflorescences. The shape of the corolla is funnel-shaped or bell-shaped, while the blades are very slightly pronounced. The fruit is a box with seeds inside; they remain viable for 2 or 3 years.

Growing bindweed from seeds

The weed bindweed in the garden is a lot of trouble. But the decorative forms of the bindweed are a liana, characterized by rapid growth. Landscape designers often use this plant because it has rich green foliage, flexible stems, and delicate and very beautiful flowers. Bindweed is able to decorate any vertical surface.

For reproduction of such a culture, only the generative (seed) method is used. If it is necessary for the object to be masked with such a vine very quickly, then it is recommended to grow it through seedlings. Sowing seeds for seedlings is done in March, but before that, the seed should be immersed in water for 24 hours. They are sown in individual cups, which have holes for drainage, which will allow excess liquid to flow out. They should be filled with moistened compost soil or substrate, which includes nutrient soil and peat (2: 1). The decomposed seeds should be sprinkled on top with a layer of loose earth, which is tamped a little. Sowing in a common container is not recommended, since seedlings react extremely negatively to picking. The cups are removed in a cool place (from 18 to 20 degrees). Crops are provided with systematic watering.With proper care, the first seedlings should appear after about half a month. Plants should be watered as the top layer of the substrate dries. 2 times a month, seedlings should be fed with a solution of mineral fertilizer in a weak concentration.

Planting bindweed in the garden

What time to plant

After it becomes warm outside, and the spring return frosts are left behind, it will be possible to plant bindweed seedlings in open soil. However, before doing this, it must be hardened. As a rule, seedlings are planted in open soil in mid-May, but in some cases this has to be done only in the first ten days of June.

A sunny area is best for planting bindweed. If such a plant gets sunlight, then it will bloom abundantly and for a longer time. The soil must be water-permeable. In general, this culture does not impose special requirements on the composition of the soil, but it is better if it is loamy.

Landing features

First you need to start preparing the site. It is necessary to dig it up, while peat should be added to the soil (2-3 kilograms are taken per 1 square meter). Then the surface of the site must be leveled. Before planting, the seedlings should be watered abundantly, thanks to this, it will be much easier to pull the plant out of the container. Prepare the holes, while the distance between them should be equal to 20 to 25 centimeters. Bindweed is planted using the transshipment method. The planted plants need good watering.

Bindweed care

The most important thing in bindweed care is watering. It must be carried out systematically and in sufficient volume. For such a plant, both stagnation of water in the soil and its lack are harmful. If the plant does not have enough water, then the buds will begin to drop. If it rains relatively regularly in the summer, the bindweed can grow without additional watering. However, if the weather is sultry or dry, then the vine must be watered, especially if you cultivate the ampelous Moorish species.

Basically, caring for such a plant is quite easy. At first, the planted plants will need timely weeding, but after they get stronger, no weed can harm them. A bindweed, as a rule, needs a support, and it should be installed as early as possible. It is necessary to guide the vine stalks along the support in time. In the event that the liana has grown excessively, then if necessary, you can make partial pruning, this will not harm the plant at all.

It is not necessary to remove wilted flowers and feed the bindweed. However, if the growth of the vine is very slow or the flowering is poor, it will need feeding. To do this, use a nutrient solution consisting of 1 bucket of water, 1 large spoonful of Nitrofoska and the same amount of Agricola for flowering plants. For 1 square meter of the plot, from 2.5 to 3 liters of such a nutrient solution is taken. You can also sprinkle the surface of the soil around the bushes with a layer of wood ash.

Diseases and pests

The bindweed is highly resistant to diseases and pests. Rarely, a liana can be affected by powdery mildew. To combat it, fungicides are used, for example, Bordeaux liquid. If aphids have settled on the bushes, then they should be sprayed with a solution of acaricide: Antitlin, Aktellik or Aktara.

After flowering

Typically, this crop is grown as an annual. But if you decide to save the bindweed, then it must be removed from the ground and planted in a pot. The container with the plant is removed to a well-lit room in which the air temperature in winter does not drop below zero degrees. In springtime, the bindweed is transplanted into open soil again. However, it should be noted that this flower reproduces well by self-sowing.Therefore, where it was grown last year, friendly shoots may appear in the spring, which will only need to be thinned out or planted.

How to get rid of bindweed

Bindweed, which is a weed, annoys gardeners quite strongly. This perennial plant is distinguished by the fact that it is very hardy and tenacious. Twisting around other plants, the bindweed simply "strangles" them. In this regard, if such a field bindweed was seen on your site, then the fight against it should be started as soon as possible. To do this, take a rake and try to extract all its roots from the soil. But if scraps of roots remain in the ground, then the bindweed will begin to spread at a rapid speed throughout your garden or garden. In this case, it is recommended to use herbicides to combat it, for example: Roundup, Tornado or Lintur. The drug should be applied pointwise, and several treatments will be required.

If the site is completely filled with bindweed, then at the very beginning of spring, it should be completely dug up and with the help of a rake try to select most of the roots. Then the surface of the site must be covered with a dark-colored material that should not transmit light (black film or roofing material). In the absence of light and oxygen, as well as with a strong increase in temperature, almost all bindweed should die. But in order to eradicate this weed completely, only white mustard should be planted on the treated area in the current season. You can also sow bluegrass or fescue. If such a weed was noticed in an already planted garden, then it will have to be pulled out every day. In this case, shoots and roots, together with seeds, must be destroyed. It is recommended to apply herbicides after harvest or pointwise. In autumn, the site will require deep digging, while all the roots of this weed should be pulled out of the ground and destroyed. They should not be put into compost, as there is a high probability that they will germinate again.

Types and varieties of bindweed with photos and names

There are few types of garden bindweed. The ones that are most popular will be described below.

Bindweed Moorish (Convolvulus sabatius = Convolvulus Mauritanicus)

This ornamental plant is usually grown in containers or hanging baskets. The length of the stems is about half a meter, they are covered with delicate leaf plates of a greenish-gray color. As a rule, flowers in this species have a pale lilac color.

Bindweed (Convolvulus bicuspidatus = Convolvulus fischerianus)

The homeland of this bindweed is Siberia, Asia and the Caucasus. It prefers to grow along sandy river banks, on dry mountain slopes, as well as in mountain steppes. The length of slightly curly recumbent, ascending shoots varies from 0.3 to 0.4 m. The arrow-shaped leaf plates can be pubescent or glabrous, the length of their petioles is from 30 to 70 mm. Single pink flowers flaunt on long peduncles.

Bindweed tricolor (Convolvulus tricolor = Convolvulus minor)

This densely branched herb is an annual and native to the western Mediterranean. There is pubescence on the surface of the ascending creeping shoots. Sessile, whole-edged linear-lanceolate leaf plates are pointed, greenish, slightly rough or glabrous. Axillary flowers reach about 40 mm in diameter, their shape is regular funnel-shaped, and the pedicels are short. Their throat is yellow, the middle part is white, and the limb of the corolla is deep blue. This species has several forms with pink, purple, blue-purple, white or blue flowers. There are also several varieties:

• Crimson Monarch - the color of the flowers is crimson;
• Royal Ensign - the length of the stems is about 0.45 m, dark blue flowers have a golden throat;
• Blue Flash - the height of the bush is about 0.25 m, the flowers are blue.

The star bindweed, also called the morning glory Mina Lobata, or the Spanish flag, or the lobed kvamoklit is a vine, but it is not a bindweed.

The delicate charm of bright inflorescences of tricolor bindweed enchants every grower at first sight and makes you want to plant it in your flower garden. Growing tricolor bindweed from seeds is an easy task, every flower lover can do it.

Bindweed tricolor is a perennial plant of the bindweed family with a creeping stem up to 3 m long; in our climatic conditions it is grown as an annual. The closest relative of the tricolor bindweed is the field bindweed, a weed known to all summer residents. The plant is frost-resistant, rarely affected by pests and diseases. Blooms from June to late autumn, flowers bloom only in sunny weather, so you can tell if it will rain. After flowering, a box with two large seeds is formed, which can be easily collected for sowing for the next season.

Reproduction and planting

Usually tricolor bindweed is propagated by seeds, although propagation by division of rhizomes or cuttings is possible. Growing from seeds is possible immediately in the open field or by seedling.

Growing from seeds:

• In open ground, seeds are sown in late April - early May. They are placed in shallow grooves, which are covered with a film, pre-planting is well watered. The film is removed when the threat of night frost has passed. So that the plants do not interfere with each other, you need to thin out the seedlings and leave a distance of 25-30 cm between the plants. The removed plants can be planted on other beds.

Advice! The seeds of the bindweed are large, so it is better to plant them one at a time, immediately away from each other. The seeds are pre-soaked for 1-2 days.

• Seeds are sown for seedlings in March. A mixture of their humus, peat and sand is poured into the containers, disinfected with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or fungicide. Seeds are sown away from each other or in individual containers so that the stems of the grown plants do not intertwine. The containers are placed in a warm, well-lit place, watered infrequently, preventing the soil from drying out. In May, seedlings can be planted outdoors.

Propagation by cuttings

Tricolor bindweed can be propagated by cuttings all summer long. For rooting, cuttings are placed in a container with water or planted in a loose substrate. When the roots appear, the cuttings are planted in a permanent place.

Planting care

Caring for the bindweed is simple, and following a few simple care recommendations will allow you to admire the bright inflorescences all summer.

• For successful vegetation, the bindweed needs loose soil with neutral acidity or slightly acidic.
• You need to place the plant in a well-lit place, although it easily tolerates partial shade.
• Water the plantings as the soil dries up. Too much watering is not recommended, because the green mass will grow, and there will be few flowers.
• It is better to feed bindweed with organic fertilizers. Before planting, the soil is fertilized with peat or rotted compost, when buds begin to form, wood ash is added. During flowering, complex fertilizers can be added to the water for irrigation, but not more often than once a month.
• It is important to regularly loosen the soil and weed the weeds in the bindweed beds. You can simply mulch the soil under the plantings, the mulch will help to retain moisture in the soil and inhibit the growth of weeds.
• It is advisable to remove fading inflorescences, this will stimulate abundant flowering.
• Plants planted in pots and containers need good drainage and additional feeding.

Disease prevention

The bindweed is rarely affected by diseases, therefore, adherence to the correct technique of its cultivation will help to avoid diseases and prevent the appearance of pests on it. Most often, the bindweed can be threatened by powdery mildew and spider mites.

• Powdery mildew.

With an excess of moisture, the plant can be affected by powdery mildew. Powdery mildew is a fungal disease that spreads very quickly and can destroy a large area of ​​plantings in a short time. It appears as a white coating on the leaves, similar to flour. If you do not start fighting it in time, it infects new plants, plaque appears not only on the leaves, but also on the stems and flowers. The plant dries up, turns yellow and dies quickly.

This white bloom is actually a mycelium; ulcers form on the leaves where it appears. Fungi extract nutrients from their plants. Cold damp weather provokes the appearance of powdery mildew. Also, the reason for its appearance may be improper watering, when the plantings are watered without waiting for the earth to dry out. It can occur with too dense plantings.

When a disease appears on plants, it is necessary to remove the infected leaves of the flowers or plants as a whole. If the flowers are planted in pots or containers, the topsoil must be replaced as mycelium can be located in it. It is also necessary to treat the plants with a fungicide solution, and very abundantly, so that it gets on the underside of the leaves and stems of flowers. The walls of pots, containers and pallets must be treated with the same solution.

To prevent powdery mildew, plantings are thinned out, old leaves that are close to the ground are removed, and the flower garden is watered only after the soil under the flowers has dried.

• Spider mite.

It is a pest that appears on plants in dry and hot weather. Tick ​​larvae and adults feed on the plant's cell sap, sucking it out of the leaves. Many dots appear on the leaves, over time the leaves turn yellow and fly around. If you do not fight the mite, the plant may die. Females lay several hundred eggs in the ground in just 1-2 months of their life, and they can stay in the ground for a long time until the weather is favorable for them.

Despite the fact that the mite is called a spider mite, the presence of cobwebs on the affected plant is not at all necessary, so it is not easy to detect it. If the plantings begin to turn yellow, dry and fall off the leaves, it is necessary to inspect the underside of the leaves, the presence of small black dots on it means that the plant is affected by a spider mite.

To combat the pest, first of all, they remove dried and yellowed leaves, which are better not to be thrown away, but burned. The flower garden needs to be treated with an acaricidal preparation, and the treatment is carried out 3-4 times with an interval of 5-6 days, because the death of adults does not mean victory over the tick. Its eggs can remain in the ground, and after a week, young mites reappear on the plants.

Prevention of damage to plantings by this pest consists in regularly spraying flowers in dry and hot weather.

Healing properties

As a medicinal plant, bindweed has been known since the time of Avicenna. The wild varieties of bindweed, specifically the field bindweed, have medicinal properties. It contains a large amount of biologically active substances, vitamins, flavonoids, ascorbic acid.

The herb infusion is used as an anti-inflammatory and diuretic for diseases of the bladder. A decoction of bindweed has a positive effect on the gastrointestinal tract, is used as a choleretic and laxative. Also, the broth lowers blood pressure, has a calming effect in case of nervous disorders. For the treatment of asthma, an infusion of fresh bindweed herb is used. Diluted alcoholic tincture of bindweed treat long-term non-healing wounds with the help of compresses and lotions.

Advice! The dosage indicated in the recipe must be strictly observed, because the plant contains toxic alkaloids.

You can prepare medicinal raw materials yourself.The whole plant is harvested during flowering, the roots are harvested in spring or autumn when digging a site. The stems are sorted out, dried leaves are removed, the roots must be rinsed well. Raw materials are dried under a canopy on a clean bedding or on paper. Ready raw materials are stored for no more than a year.

Bindweed tricolor in the design of the site and the house

Due to its unpretentiousness and ease of care, tricolor bindweed is widely used in the design of balconies, terraces, flower beds. You can use it as an ampelous plant, planting it in boxes and pots. With its help, it is good to decorate a fence or outbuildings, to arrange an entrance to the house in the form of an arch. A bindweed, planted around a summer veranda or gazebo, will not only decorate it with its elegant bells, but will create coolness on hot days. They also use it when decorating balconies and loggias, you just need to install a support or tie up shoots.

As a ground cover plant, tricolor bindweed is used to decorate alpine slides and create borders. In addition, it is often used to decorate curly frames, grown on supports, using it to create green partitions and walls to hide the nooks and crannies of the site and garden.

Growing a tricolor pack will delight both experienced and novice growers with its simplicity and wonderful result in the form of cheerful bells that adorn their garden plot.

Garden bindweed belongs to the Bindweed family. Despite the fact that this plant is considered a poisonous climbing vine, it is grown in almost every yard. Bindweed inflorescences fascinate with their bright colors, it is impossible not to fall in love with it, and it is very simple and easy to grow.

Bindweed is a perennial plant that has a creeping stem that can grow up to 3 meters in length. However, due to our harsh climatic conditions, the bindweed does not survive in winter, therefore in our country it is considered an annual. The closest relative of the tricolor bindweed is considered to be the field bindweed. Among the people, it is better known as an ordinary weed, which every gardener desperately struggles with in his garden plot. The plant is quite resistant to climatic changes, does not require maintenance, is not susceptible to damage by insects and various diseases.

The bindweed usually blooms from early summer to late autumn. Buds bloom only on a sunny day, so people often use it to determine whether it will rain or not. After the plant has faded, a capsule is formed, in which the seeds are located. These grains are easy to extract and can be used for planting next year.

Next, we will consider in more detail the decorative bindweed, growing it from seeds and the best time to plant.

The most common method is considered to be seed propagation of bindweed. You can also propagate bindweed by cuttings or by dividing the root.

There are two ways to grow a flower:

1. Sow directly into open ground.
2. Grow seedlings.

Growing a plant in the first way involves sowing seeds from the first to the third month of spring.

Before sowing seeds in the ground, you should first make furrows, where the seeds are placed. Next, the beds are watered and covered with plastic wrap, creating the effect of a greenhouse. Cellophane is removed when the frost has finally passed. Plants should not interfere with each other, so they are thinned out, leaving a distance of 30-40 cm between the shoots. The stems that have been removed can be planted in another place, they will certainly be accepted.

The seed size of the bindweed is rather big, so it is better to sow them immediately at a distance from each other. Before planting, the seed can be soaked in water for a couple of days.

For growing seedlings, seeds are sown in early spring. Seedling containers are filled with a substrate of humus, sand and peat.It is advisable to put one seed in one container so that the sprouted stems do not intertwine with each other and do not break. Containers with future plants must be placed in a warm, bright place (a window sill is perfect) and do not allow the soil to dry out. In May, the seedlings will be ready for planting in open soil.

We plant with cuttings

With this method, bindweed can be propagated all summer. To root a cutting, it must be placed in a container of water or planted immediately in loosened soil. When roots appear, the sprout can be transplanted to a permanent place.

How to care for a bindweed

In fact, caring for this type of plant is quite simple. With minimal attention to the bindweed, it will bloom and delight its owner all summer. Usually, leaving comes down to the following points:

• for the plant to actively grow and bloom, it needs an alkaline soil or with a neutral level of acidity;
• it is better to plant bindweed in a sunny place or with minimal shade;
• the plant is watered as the soil dries, waterlogging is not recommended;
• bindweed can be fertilized with organic matter (the soil is dug up with peat or humus, wood ash is added during the flowering period);
• rows with liana must be weeded regularly;
• for more active flowering, wilted inflorescences should be removed;
• bindweed planted in pots requires drainage and additional fertilization.

Bindweed diseases and methods of prevention

Bindweed is a plant that rarely suffers from any kind of disease. If you grow it, observing all technologies and care recommendations, the likelihood of the disease is reduced to almost zero. The most common diseases that affect this flower are powdery mildew and spider mites.

Powdery mildew occurs on bindweed when over-watered. So it is customary to call a fungal infection, which develops very quickly on plants and can destroy the entire flower bed. A symptom of this disease is a white coating on the leaves that resembles flour. If you do not start treatment in a timely manner, then it will quickly move to other plants. The flower will dry up and quickly turn yellow, eventually dying.

A spider mite occurs on a plant in hot weather. The parasite feeds on the flower sap of leaves and stems. A sign of a tick is numerous dots on the leaves; over time, the foliage turns yellow and crumbles. If this parasite is not fought, the plant will die. Although the disease is caused by spider mites, spider webs are not required on the flower.

Of all garden vines, the bindweed is considered the fastest growing. It grows well on both horizontal and vertical surfaces. Bright greenery and surprisingly flexible shoots allow you to create unique compositions in your backyard plots. Both annuals and perennials are found in nature, and the most common species is the field bindweed, from which agricultural crops and vegetable gardens suffer.

Botanical description

Bindweed is a herbaceous plant and belongs to the bindweed family.

• It has a branched root system that can penetrate up to 2 meters.
• The stem is thin, creeping, it can twine around various obstacles, as it reaches a length of up to 3 meters.
• Leaves are solitary, formed on long cuttings and have an elongated ovoid shape. As a rule, their length is 3 times their width.
• Flowers are rather large, bell-shaped.

A related species of this plant is the field birch, the flowers of which are slightly smaller. Bindweed blooms from July to September, each flower only opens for a few hours. This happens approximately from 7 am to 2 pm.

It grows everywhere, it can be found in all CIS countries. Prefers loamy and sandy loam soils.You can often hear that a plant is called a weed, since it can spread over garbage places, and abandoned vegetable gardens, and forest glades.

Due to the long roots, bindweed is difficult to destroy, not even all chemicals are able to cope with it. After weeding, it grows back, as it can develop from even the smallest remnant of the root system.

Types, varieties and names of plants

To date, several varieties of field bindweed are known.

Among gardeners, the following are popular:

1. Bindweed Moorish. An excellent option for vertical decoration of space. In most cases, it is grown in containers and pots. Its shoots are covered with pale green leaves, the length of which reaches 50 centimeters. During flowering, it pleases with flowers of a light lilac shade.
2. Bindweed is two-peaked. The countries of Asia, Siberia and the Caucasus are considered his homeland. Due to its peculiarities, it spreads on arid mountain slopes, in mountain steppes and along sandy shores. Its slightly curly stems reach a length of 30 - 40 centimeters. The leaves of the plant are arrow-shaped, up to 7 cm, the flowers are single pink. This species belongs to the "wild" and is used by gardeners relatively recently.
3. Bindweed tricolor is one of the brightest representatives, which is famous for its densely branched structure. An annual plant, reaches a height of about 50 centimeters. The plant consists of thin and flexible shoots, on which oval-shaped leaves are densely located. The flowers are funnel-shaped with a diameter of about 4 cm. But due to their bright and variegated color, they can appear much larger. The plant got its name due to the three shades on the inflorescences. The blue tint along the edges smoothly turns into white, and then harmoniously merges with the lemon core. Bindweed blooms from early June to early autumn. It can be spread by self-sowing and at the same time has a good yield. This species is represented by several varieties: "Crimson Monarch", "Blue Flash", "Royal Ensign".

Please note that the star bindweed, which is also called the "Spanish flag" or "Ipomoea Mina Lobata", is a vine, but has nothing to do with the genus Bindweed.

Features of growing bindweed

According to its requirements for cultivation, bindweed is similar to other garden vines. This non-capricious plant is able to be content with little, and thanks to its abundant flowering, it surprises even experienced gardeners. A sunny location or diffused lighting with non-acidic soil guarantees success in growing any kind of bindweed.

The maximum blooming effect is manifested in sunny areas with high-quality loams. But on the other hand, the plant is not demanding for special conditions and is able to take root in almost any kind of garden soil.

Landing in open ground

As practice shows, bindweed can grow in any soil.

But if there is a desire to get a long and abundant flowering, then the following rules should be taken into account:

• the plant takes root best of all on non-acidic soils;
• before planting, the soil must be loosened, and also connected with peat and sand;
• additionally, you can add mineral or organic fertilizers.

Growing bindweed outdoors consists of several stages:

1. Seeds intended for planting are pre-soaked in water.
2. Before planting, it is recommended to add decomposed peat to the soil, it will accompany the rapid germination of seeds.
3. The grooves are made in loose soil at a distance of 25-50 centimeters from each other.
4. After planting in the ground, the seeds need abundant watering.
5. If there is a likelihood of frost, then the seed beds must be covered, the film is removed immediately after stable warm weather is established.
6. When sprouts appear, you need to water it moderately.
7. As you grow, do not forget to thin out the plant so that it pleases with its strength and abundant flowering.

Seeds should be sown in mid-April - early May. For earlier flowering, you can grow bindweed seedlings.

How to care for a bindweed

Plant maintenance is minimal as it can cope with even the most extreme conditions during the hot summer months. Despite the fact that watering is not the main condition for care, the timely introduction of water will allow you to achieve abundant lush flowering.

Weeding is done only after planting. It is not necessary to remove wilted flowers and feed the plant. When growing on supports, you need to guide the weaving stems, which will form a beautiful composition.

Fertilizing is advised only for those plants that are grown in containers.

Protection against diseases and pests

The bindweed flower is one of the most resistant to diseases and pests.

• In rare cases, it can be affected by powdery mildew, which appears as a white coating on different parts of the plant. This fungal disease occurs as a result of heavy watering, poor thinning, shading. To get rid of the disease, you need to eliminate the affected parts of the plant. In addition, the bindweed, as well as the ground under it, is sprayed with a fungicide.
• Yellowing leaves with black dots on the inside indicate a spider mite infestation. The affected parts of the plant must be removed and burned. The rest is treated with a special preparation.

Exotic vine in landscape design

Today bindweed is actively used in landscape design. It allows you to effectively hide empty spaces and crevices, decorate slopes, as well as arrange areas unsuitable for other plants. Bindweed can be used to create unique screens or temporary curtains.

Due to the fact that the bindweed is one of the fastest growing exotic lianas, it is used to decorate colorful weaving carpets, planted on microbeds and in bed frames.

The plant looks great in large flower beds, in flower beds, with its help, the residual narrow strips of soil are decorated.

Recently, curbs have been increasingly created from bindweed. The plant can be grown on various doughs and frames. In a short time, it can be used to hide the corners of the infield or divide the garden into separate zones.

In addition to open soil, bindweed is grown in pots, due to which it is used to decorate potted gardens, terraces or balconies.
