A climber for a pot

[HollyBerryz]

I'd like to chuck a climber up next to the front door but it needs to be in a pot. I have a Jasmine there atm but it hates it. What will be ok in a pot? Thanks.

Is it shady or south facing?

Most climbers don't like pots...sorry, and they have to be really big pots and well watered.

You could plant a shrub and train it up the wall.

Or try evergeen jasmine https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/18287/trachelospermum-jasminoides/details - It doesn't mind a large pot.

How big is the pot, and how sunny is the spot? Black-eyed Susan doesn't need a big pot. Thunbergia alata, not the other one. If a big bigger and sunny, sweet pea? I quite like broad beans for the red flowers and quick growth.

Star Jasmine is what I have. It's south facing. I was eyeing up a black eyed Susan the other day actually....

Star Jasmine will need a huge pot as it can grow to 10m tall! I have one planted in the ground in a South facing garden and within 5 years it had completely covered the shed and its not fast growing like a honeysuckle!

Would concur with PP…. I have a pot I keep planting climbers into and they keep dying!

OP if you haven’t filled your pot yet, consider one of those water tanks for pots- you bury it in the soil and fill up from the top and in theory it releases water slowly. We lost a couple of plants when we went on holiday.

I am considering a climbing ceanothus, a passionflower, or perhaps a rose.
