Calystegia soldanella (syn. Convolvulus soldanella) is a species of bindweed known by various common names such as sea bindweed,[1] seashore false bindweed, shore bindweed, shore convolvulus and beach morning glory.[2]

Description

It is a perennial vine which grows in beach sand and other coastal habitats in temperate regions across the world.[3] It is also known as 'The Prince's Flower' after Prince Charles Edward Stuart who sowed it on the Island of Eriskay, Scotland, when he landed there in 1745 to lead the Jacobite rising.[4]

The plant bears trailing,[1] fleshy stems, kidney-shaped leaves, and creamy-white flower buds and attractive morning glory-like flowers with corollas delicate pink to vivid lavender. They are insect-pollinated.
