Mallow-leaf bindweed
Convolvulus althaeoides
Mallow-leaf bindweed is a vigorous trailing and climbing perennial prized for its large, showy pink funnel-shaped flowers and deeply lobed silvery-green foliage, perfect for Mediterranean-style or coastal gardens. It prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained, even poor or sandy soils, and once established shows good drought tolerance. Be aware that it spreads vigorously through its root system, so site it thoughtfully or use containers to manage its spread.
