RE: Ipomeoea alba Moonflowers -Reply

If I remember correctly, you are in the
hardiness zone for moonflower.  Does your
friend bring her plant in every year?  Mine
does immediately after any frost.  Any family
secrets we want to know about?

If they let it scramble at ground level, is this
over flower beds or grass?  How do they mow? 
See, even non-newbies can ask questionably
dumb questions.

Newbie returns.

The plant is DEFINITELY vine, not shrub, with
huge heart-shaped leaves,
white twirling trumpet flowers, and a wonderful
fragrance.  I think
definitely not datura/brugmansia.  

My friend got her plant from her grandmother. 
Grandma always let them
sprawl over the lawn, friend lets them sprawl,
and I'm back to "How do I
convince a climber to climb?"  The answer is
just to give it something
to climb on, right?  I guess I was envisioning a
staple gun, duct tape,
or hot glue gun.  

So much for 'there's no such thing as a stupid
question.'
