Can Morning Glory Plants Climb Up a Brick Wall?
~*~Morning glories won't usually grow on bricks. They like to wind around something in order to climb not cling to it like ivy. What I do is anchor fishing line at the top and bottom of the brick wall and plant the morning glory plants or seeds at the base of each line. They will climb up and fill in and because the fishing line is clear and so thin you won't see the supports.
Reply:No. They need something to wind round. They don't have tendrils that cling to bricks, like ivy.





The best thing to do is put a few masonry nails in the wall and run some vertical wires, or put a trellis in front of the wall.
Reply:They will only climb up a wall if there is something for them to hold on too its much better to let them ramble through shrubs etc. collect the seed at the end of the season save them and plant them next year you will be surprise how many will grow
Reply:If the brick is not smooth I think they may be able to climb it. You may just buy a cheap trellis and lean it up against the brick and let them climb that!!
Reply:No they are twiners not climbers, but all you need to do is put up something they can scramble up either wires or canes or trellis depending what your taste is
Reply:yep, they can go anywhere,





lol, at my house we spray them with round up because they are weeds once they cross into the garden
