Climbing plant in a plant pot

I would like something like a climbing Jasmine to grow up the front of our house (a boring 60s house) but it will need to be grown in an pot.
Do you think it would be possible? TIA

I have two Star Jasmines growing in a very large planters. They need feeding in the spring and summer and frequent watering. Other than that they’re fine one is East facing the other West facing. The East facing one is marginally better.

I have a jasmine beesianum in a pot that's doing well, I've had it at least 6 years and it seems perfectly happy.

Oh that sounds positive. Would they eventually grow up a house do you think?

They can grow quite large given the right conditions.

A good sized pot and top-dressing annually (and feeding as required) will keep a climber healthy for years.

Which way does the house front face? We have jasmine on 3 sides of the garden and the one that gets the most sun is by far the happiest. They are all doing ok but the sunny one grows and flowers best.

It will need wires or trellis to grow up/along, it doesn’t self cling.

I have several clematis in pots that grow up a trellis - they get sun from about 1pm onwards & always do well with frequent watering and feeding. Actually left one in its original pot for the first year (I had a newborn…) & it flowered!
