Hedge Bindweed (Calystegia sepium) is a member of the Morning Glory family (Convolvulaceae). This plant has been classified as a noxious weed because of its quick growth and clinging vines which can overwhelm and pull down cultivated plants.
The trumpet-shaped, 1.5" to 3" diameter flowers, are white or pale pink with white stripes.
The Hedge Bindweed flowers are a favorite of bees and butterflies.

Thank you for this ! I have morning glories , moonflowers growing that I had sown earlier this season. I also have noticed a larger trumpet shaped pale pink flower with arrow shaped leaves, but It was unexpected.
So I went searching online to determine whether it may be field or hedge bindweed. Thank you. This is the most helpful, to the point info I found . :)
