Wildflower Field notes: Everyone's familiar with this pesky plant. Bindweed always seems to grow where you don't want it and it's nearly impossible to get rid of it. That's because its roots can penetrate the soil to depths of 20 feet and the seeds can remain viable for over 50 years. 

Multiple applications of RoundUp® will eventually kill off Bindweed.
