Sweet Pea - Climb up a Hedge ?

    I have surplus sweet pea plants. I was thinking of putting them in 1m long window planter boxes and putting them alongside an 8 foot high grisolena hedge.

    Has anybody done this before? Will they grip onto the hedge and grow up? Or will the the little tendrils fail to grip and the plants just flop over?

    I clipped the hedge (tightly) a few weeks ago and won't be clipping it again until the autumn.

    Anybody know?

    It should be grand; the tendrils will wrap around just about anything. Climbing up other plants is what peas evolved to do, after all.

    If a have a good number of surplus you could always donate a couple to your local community garden.
