Climbing plants to add curb appeal

[PattyDuckface]

I really love houses that have plants climbing around their outer walls/ structures and I want to do this to my own home.

My efforts to do this so far have been quite patchy, apart from an amazing grape vine that I grew very big around an old outhouse that sadly had to be moved when the outhouse was renovated and then it died shortly after being moved.

So I have terraces around all of the house, is it possible to grow climbers in containers?

Plus it's quite windy here.

Forgot to add my request

Can anyone give me ideas and suggestions for doing this if there is no direct access to the soil?

Potentially I could make soil access through the terrace but does that affect the house foundations?

I have bad success with clematis in pots. I use big tall ones, as they like their feet in sun and roots in shade.

wisteria and roses prefer the ground.

@Rumshotsandrainshowers oh I love clematis

Do you think this kind of deep and quite thin pot would work for them?

A Virginia creeper grows fast and is easy to maintain

My neighbour has two Pyracantha in pots on either side of her front door. They are trained on wooden trellis and clipped to within an inch of their lives!

They look fantastic, and I have real Pyracantha envy every time I pass them.

I'm growing a climbing hydrangea in a pot - it's doing well atm, but only had it a few months.

I have a honeysuckle that's very pretty and has grown very fast. It's in the ground though so not sure how it would fare in a planter

Super input, thanks all

Yes absolutely.

I'm not sure that container would work. Clematis like their roots to be cool and that container will get really warm with such a large external surface area and dark colour.

I have two similar, the roots of clematis won’t go all the way to the bottom. The ones I have are corton steel, and I have bamboo and ornamental grasses in them, the soil doesn’t get really hot.

Standard virginia creeper won't work in a pot, plus it's really invasive so it's suggested to avoid it in the UK. There is however another smaller related variant, parthenocissus henryana, which I have grown in a pot for several years. It won't cover a house from a pot, but it is very beautiful, particularly in the autumn.

If you have a terrace and then soil, you could consider growing a plant in the soil and then training it to reach the house. That's what I have done where I have a terrace that I can't get to the soil from. I've put a raised bed at the edge of the terrace, and am training a wisteria to get to a part where I have a cover over the terrace, from where it will be trained back to the house. You could also use a pergola or half an arch to get it to the house.
