the side wall of a brick garage. The plants are to go into 2 wooden
planters which are each about 2 feet wide by 4 feet long and about 2 feet in
depth, so the plants shouldn't be too invasive or vigorous. Ivy is an
obvious choice, but it might be too invasive? Is there anything else that
would do the job better?

Many thanks in advance.

Which way is it facing and where are you? it makes a big difference.

Charlie, can I tag on here, I want a clematis, hardy, evergreen, south
east facing, the Auvergne, France, snow in December and Jan Feb and
March pretty vicious. Is there anything I could plant in these
conditions?

I don't think so, the two toughest are Cirrhosa and armandii, on a wall I
am not sure what you would get away with but from previous threads your
place sounds rather cold in winter!

It is Charlie, any suggestions at all for something, anything
evergreeen, that may survive?

For reliability I would consider wall training a hardy everygreen shrub,
I am just not familar with the climate in that part of france, but even
ivy can look awful in exposed cold places! If you could give some idea of
the sorts of plants that appear to be doing well around you that may
help.
