Is Moonflower vine aggressive?

Posted by Kimmers z4 WI/USA (My Page) on

I have an extrememly sturdy trellis with a 4 yr. old trumpet vine in the area my new moon garden is. I was wondering, would it be safe to plant a moonflower vine (Ipomea) with it? Or would it harm my Trumpet vine? I know that Trumpet vines are nearly indestructible themselves. But I've also read that Moonflower vines are quite aggressive.

It should be fine. Nothing will hurt that trumpet vine! I've planted moonflowers with Morning Glories and with Basella rubra, and never had troubles.

HTH,

Two years ago I started moonflowers from seeds and put two of them under my deck with a couple of other plants( i can't remember what now) anyway they took over everything they were so pretty but also soooo huge.
