from Ruby Hare contains these words:

Please could someone reccomend something which could grow up a trellis
ASAP, has lots of foliage (flowers optional although would be nice),
and can happily sit in a large pot. Or am I asking too much?

Russian vine?

(Don't let it out of the pot under any circumstances.)

Definitely not Russian Vine - malicious suggestion! The problem is going to
be the pot. Some things will be happy in one for a while but not for ever.
Is there no alternative to a pot?

If the microclimate is suitable one could try growing Eccremocarpus
scaber (Chilean Glory Vine) - though it does have tendencies to
annuality.

IME it's wispy and unreliable and not robust enough to cover a trellis if
any really solid coverage is needed.

I should have some seeds of that, hidden in some dark corner in a
polythene bag.*

* Applies to the corner or the bag...
