Will Morning Glory climb on a solid wood fence like a wall?

I have a wooden fence but the pickets are flush against each other so there is no space between them. So this forms like a solid wall. Will Morning Glory climb up this or does it need more of a trellis? Thanks!

The morning glory needs something to wrap around. Since your fence is solid, you can tie strings to the top of the pickets and run them down to a nail in the ground a couple of inches away from the fence, so there is a little space between the string and the fence. The morning glories will eagerly climb up this "ladder."
Reply:they need to have something to attach too
Reply:I always Loved Morning Glorys. They would open wide and so pretty in the day and close up at night. Yes they will grow up your fence, as long as they have something to grasp onto it..
Reply:Morning Glory is a form of a weed(from the weed family) and it will grow anywhere even on your fence....can i suggest something more like an flowering ivy instead....the morning glory is hard to keep only in one spot and can take over your garden
Reply:Regarding youre morning glories. At the base of youre fence place small nail in. attach twine,or string to the nail pull to where ever you want youre glories to go. take another small nail and place at top of fence. wrap youre glories around twine not to tight wherever youre strings are youre glories will be. This is what I do and every year they climb the same string. hoped this helped. Good Luck. from indmiles@yahoo.com
