Sierra False Bindweed

Calystegia malacophylla ssp. pedicellata, commonly known as Sierra False Bindweed, is a perennial vine native to the mountainous regions of the western United States, particularly in California and Nevada. This species typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 meters, exhibiting a climbing or sprawling growth habit that allows it to thrive in various habitats, including open woodlands, meadows, and disturbed areas. The leaves are heart-shaped and can be quite variable in size, often exhibiting a lush green color that provides a striking contrast to the plant’s delicate flowers.
