Hi Narda,
This side of the pond we are particularly troubled by:-
Field Bindweed - Convolvulus arvensis
and
Hedge Bindweed or Bellbine - Calystegia sepium
They are a pain in the &*!! and I have given up trying to
eradicate them systemically. Instead I give the particular
flower bed a thorough dig every 3 years - most of the perennials
need dividing by then anyway - and remove as much root as
possible. Any root left will grow and grow and grow!!
All the best
