OT: Wrought iron trellis, does it get to hot in the sun for vines
| | |

| Hubby suggested a black wrought iron trellis to replace my old bamboo that has rotted away with all the rain we've had.
So, will a black wrought iron trellis absorb too much heat from the summer sun, assuming we ever see the sun and get warm, and burn sweet pea vines or morning glory vines?
I have morning glory vines growing all along my chain link fence that is in full sun, but that is not black.
Anyone have any experience with this?

| Hey Fran, I dont know the answer to your question but wanted to let you know that I tried to answer your email and for some reason it keeps coming back to me. I would have picked up the phone but hubby has been sick and god knows he'll need everything the minute I make a call. We just found out that he has contracted lyme disease. He started his meds earlier this week and hope to see an improvement in his health in the next week or so. The answer to your question about the poppies is I have no idea. I must have labeled the marker wrong on the monarda poppy. I didnt keep very good records, what a surprise! I'm heading off to work today but will try and give you a call after the holiday. Lisa |

| Considering all the vines and other plants happily existing on wrought iron fixtures in the south, I'd say no..it won't be too hot for your vines. |

| I agree with Don. I've got clematis running up a few wrought iron trellis's and they are fine. Alberta |
