Default Jasminum Nudiflorum in container4?

In article ,
says...

Jasmine nudiflorum IS the winter flowering jasmine! I don't know about
growing it in pots, but if you want it to look good against a wall you
need to tie it in so it kind of droops over. A bit of trellis or even
a few horizontal wires up to 3 or 4 ft. will do the trick. It's a real
sod in the ground as it self-layers all over the place.





And what is worse does not flower that well unless it gets sun! yet so
many books say " good for north walls" It is in my view worse than Ivy
which can look quite good on a north wall but needs to be kept firmly
under control.
Neither are particuarly good in pots but will survive, its always better
if a hole can be made under the pot to allow the plant to root through
into the ground under.
