Calystegia Sepium Subsp. Silvatica

Calystegia sepium subsp. silvatica is a fascinating vine native to temperate regions of Europe and Asia. It is known for its sprawling growth habit and distinctive heart-shaped leaves. This subspecies thrives in woodland and hedgerow environments, often climbing over shrubs and trees. Its fragrant flowers, which bloom in summer, attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Despite its beauty, it can become invasive in certain areas, making it both a valuable and challenging plant.
