Hi,

I've just put up some trellis ouside my back door and am looking for
some climbing plants to grow up/over it.

The only thing is that the plants must be able to flourish in a pot
(patio is solid concrete), preferably evergreen but not too rampant
as I still want light to come through the trellis.

Something with a nice fragrant if possible for the summer evenings -
but 'look' is the most important thing.

Any recommendation or advice would be appreciated.

Which direction is it facing?

BTW your system clock is out, you're posting in the future.

How about some magic beans, Jack?

If you intend to grow them in a container, an annual would be your better
choice.

Well if its sunny and he is in not too cold a place, Trachelospermum
jasminoides 'Tricolor' will do as required in a pot (in the ground it is
quite a big grower)
But it is a big ask, neat evergreen, scented and presumably hardy, I could
retire if I discovered it!

Hi Phil,

Yep this new fangled technology dag nabbit. I think the pc back up battery
is faulty. Any how its facing West so gets the sun in the evening. I live
quite high up so the location is somewhat exposed to the elements.
