Calystegia hederacea / Kohirugao コヒルガオ

 
Calystegia hederacea is a perennial vine commonly found in grasslands or on roadsides, propagating itself by extending its white underground stems, which allow the vine to grow and wind itself around other objects. The alternate leaves are hastate, 3-7cm long, with the basal parts overhanging sideways, resembling a pair of ears. Flowers singly come on a 2-5cm stalk, born on a leaf axil. Bloom time: June-August.
