A typical beach plant,
Calystegia soldanella, is a perennial vine that grows in
sandy soil along the seashore and propagates by extending white
rhizomes underground. Stems crawl along the ground and, if there is
something to wind around, wind themselves around it. Leaves are
alternate, 2-4cm long and 3-5cm wide, kidney-shaped, circular, with
deep, thick, and glossy bases. Axils bear peduncles and set
light-red flowers at the tips. Bloom time: May-June.
