Growing a Vine Downward

13 years ago

I recently potted a honeysuckle vine that I placed on top of a wall, hoping the vine will grow downward to cover the wall. I know vines normally climb with support, but without an overhead support, will the vine grown downward and cling to the wall or do something else I haven't considered. Thanks for any help.

I just planted two hanging baskets with vines to hang down. The vines will want to grow up but when they get heavy enough, I expect gravity to help me convince them to hang down. Al
