The benefits of climbing plants for pots
If you don’t have access to a big garden, then you might have thought that growing a climbing plant wasn’t viable for you. Think again. You can grow a climber on a patio – or even a balcony in some cases! Growing a climber in a pot has the obvious benefit of opening up options for more space-limited gardeners, but also has an added benefit in that it allows you to grow more tender plants that need to be brought inside over the colder winter months. They also enable you to grow a climbing plant away from a wall or fence, in a more open position, by using something like an obelisk.
Which climbing plants are suitable for container growing?
The climbers that are suitable for container growing are those that are naturally a bit more compact and tame in comparison to some of the more vigorous climbers out there. Clematises are known for growing well in containers, with varieties such as ‘Carnaby’, ‘Bees' Jubilee’ and ‘Niobe’ all proving particularly strong choices. Less vigorous jasmine (and star jasmine) plants also grow well in containers, while bluebell creeper (Sollya heterophylla) and trailing abutilon (Abutilon megapotamicum) offer something a little different.
Caring for container-grown climbers
If possible, grow your climbers in terracotta pots; keeping your plants nice and cool is preferable, but make sure you get a pot that’s resistant to cracking from frost. Generally speaking, the deeper the pot the better. Water your plant regularly, particularly throughout the growing season and during hot, dry spells, and finally, give your climber a feed every spring with some general-purpose fertiliser. Alternatively, apply a liquid feed throughout the growing season according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Plants arrived in great condition and very promptly. Well established - much better than the ones I got at my local garden centre.
