Morphology
The compound names a type of bindweed associated with hedges, so a learner who knows 'hedge' (row of shrubs) and 'bindweed' (twining invasive plant) can infer it is a twining plant that grows on or near hedges. This is a straightforward compositional compound following regular English noun‑noun formation, not idiomatic or metaphorical.
Etymology
Hedge bindweed gets its name from how the plant grows: the part bind shows it wraps and holds on to hedges, and the part weed shows it is a 'weed' people try to remove. So the name shows a wildflower that wraps around fences and is hard to get rid of.
