How can I get a climber to climb?
Mimi in Omaha
Zone 5
Mimi;
They climb by twining themselves around the support. Plant near the fence
and train to the fence when young. As soon as they get a start on the
fence they will do the rest. Always supposing the fence is wire. If it is
brick, a solid wood privacy fence give them a trellis or something to
twine around.
By the way they are perennials hardy only to 45 degrees F. or 7degrees C.(
per Hort. A-Z Encyclopedia). Grow as an annual to about 15 ft. In
tropical regions as a perennial to 70 ft.
Closely related to Morning Glories and possibly self-sow if allowed to go
to seed.
