In the regions where I have lived in the last 50 years, Colorado, Nebraska, I knew only two bindweeds, the very common field bindweed, Convolvulus arvensis (blog), and the much rarer, hedge bindweed, perhaps better called hege false bindweed Calystegia sepium, both with white tubular flowers open in the mornings. Hedge false bindweed is much bigger--and so quite beautiful--and although I saw it climbing through roadside shrubs, it didn't seem particularly weedy.

Reading about hedge false bindweed, though, I find it is immensely complicated.
