heat tolerance of malabar spinach

Hi! I posted this in the perennials section, but perhaps it is more fitting here.

I have several malabar seedlings waiting to be planted, and i'd really love to trellis them on the south side of my house. I've read that the heat reflected off of structures can prove to be too intense for plants, so is this not a good idea, or is malabar spinach heat tolerant enough to take it? I'm thinking once it's established and dense it won't allow the heat to penetrate the wall in the first place, but until then...

Thanks
