The Ipomoea alba is a very good grower and will eventually climb by itself. My vine is two years old now and is twice the size of the picture below. I've never pruned it, but I think I'm going to before it gets any larger. It is taking over the neighbor's backyard, and thankfully, they don't mind and enjoy the flowers.

Ipomoea indica, perennial Morning Glory, is a very, very agressive grower and sends out ropes of vines which root whereever the ground is moist. Once you have that vine, you cannot get rid of it, especially if you live where it does not freeze. Thankfully, Moonflower vine is not nearly as agressive as its relative.
