How do you make morning glories stick to brick walls?

I've been growing morning glories from seed over the past few months inside by my window. Once they got big enough (they are all about 6 feet tall now) I brought them ouside. In order to encourage these plants to continue growing, I duct taped them to the side of my brick house. The only problem is that every morning I have to re-tape the plants to the side of my house because during the night, the tape keeps unsticking and the plants keep falling over from the wind. As you may know, white duct tape doesn't stick too well to brick walls. My question is, how do I make Morning Glories stick to brick walls without having to waste time re-taping it every morning, and without permanently keeping them there so they can easily be moved when planted to the ground?



This is the first time I have grown plants from seed, so I'm inexperience. Help!

Morning glories will not stick to your walls, you need to support them with canes, or trellises, or tomato cages, etc.
Reply:First of all, congratulations for your morning glories surviving the transplant. Normally they don't like to be transplanted, but prefer to be sown where they will grow.



They need support, such as a trellis, that they can twine around. Or you could put some stakes in the ground and tie some string between them.



Good luck.
Reply:Hello! I love the morning glory vines also. I plant them together with moonflowers and have one open in the a.m. and one open in the evening, so pretty.

I use bamboo that I purchased from Lowes, very inexpensive, and very sturdy, don't overwhelm one piece of bamboo though, it will only support so much vine weight. I bought a pack of 6 for less than $4.00 and it's been more than enough to allow the vines to begin the climb. I have these around different parts of my home and yard along with other vines that need a guide to get to where I prefer them to climb, ie: up the post I have near a peach tree, not on the actual peach tree, I used a short 3ft piece of bamboo to guide the vine and poof! it's-a climbin'. Hope this helps.
Reply:Morning glories climb by twining around whatever is in their path. A brick wall is too broad and flat for them to twist around; you will need to put up something that they can wrap themselves around, such as a trellis or some bamboo canes.



It sounds as if you still have them in pots. If the weather in your area permits, I would suggest that you plant them in the ground as soon as possible. Annual morning glories are kind of touchy about being transplanted, and the longer you wait, the more difficult the job.



Several years ago, I bought a perennial morning glory, "Blue Dawn Flower." It's got gorgeous flowers, but it is incredibly invasive. I literally have to hack it back and pull up shoots several times weekly to prevent it from taking over my yard. Hopefully you have a less invasive variety....
Reply:you need to support them by either using an arch, just as you would do to climbing roses, or some sort of wire that you can get from a hardware store.Tape of any kind will not stick to brick or if it does i've never seen any. you can even run them against a fence or up a pole of some sort.
