Setting seed as it's climbing up into giant purple hyssop

Synonym(s) Polygonum convolvulus Common name wild buckwheat; black bindweed Family polygonaceae Life cycle annual? Flowers inconspicuous white (summer) Size climber Light sun-part shade I didn't notice this weed until its arrow-shaped leaves turned orange-red in late summer. Then I also found its seeds, which are very recognizable by their triangular shape. I missed its flowers altogether.

This is a weed in our garden
