Climbing False Buckwheat

Climbing False Buckwheat, Fallopia scandens (also known as Polygonum scandens), is a vigorous annual or short-lived perennial vine in the family Polygonaceae native to eastern North America, occurring from the Great Plains east to the Atlantic coast and from southern Canada south through the eastern United States to Mexico. It climbs over shrubs, fences, and tall herbs by twining its stems, reaching several meters in length. The leaves are broadly heart-shaped, and the small, greenish-white flowers are borne in elongated, drooping racemes in summer and autumn. The triangular achene fruits are enclosed by winged, pinkish-white tepals that facilitate wind and water dispersal. Climbing False Buckwheat grows in moist, disturbed habitats including stream banks, woodland margins, thickets, roadsides, and fencerows, tolerating a wide range of soil conditions. It is closely related to the invasive Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia japonica) but is less aggressive and is considered native in eastern North America. The seeds are eaten by many birds and small mammals. The species is not threatened and is a common component of disturbed vegetation across its extensive native range.
