Calystegia pulchra is a species of morning glory known by the common name hairy bindweed. This is a climbing plant which may exceed three meters in height [1] The bright pink corolla may be 5 to 7 centimeters [2] and has distinct white stripes. This species is a weedy wildflower which has naturalized in many areas, including much of Europe. It is also grown as an ornamental plant. The exact origin of C. pulchra is unknown; it may be the result of hybridization between other Calystegia species.
