Default Jasminum Nudiflorum in container4?

I have a smallish corner where I'd like to grow a climber up a north-facing
house wall to about 3m or less. Due to space limitations the container size
is very limited- I can squeeze in a 13" square x 13" deep (internal
dimensions) container. Originally I was going to plant the Ivy Goldheart
(Hedera helix 'Oro di Bogliasco'), which apparently keeps its variegation in
shade and is fairly resistant to drought, making this size of container
feasible. But I thought Jasmine might be a bit more fun as this is next to a
seat and it would give a reason for wrapping up warm and sitting outside in
the dead of winter to enjoy the scent. Well for five minutes or so at a time
anyway....

The question is, is this size of container going to be big enough for Jasmine
if it grows a couple of metres high?
