Will clematis montana grow okay in a large pot if it's fed regularly?

What other species of clematis would be suitable for growing where they wont
get more than a few hours sun each day?

Thanks Joe.

I've grown Elsa Spath successfully for the past couple of years in a
spot that gets virtually no sun at all.

Bazza!.
Tell me about Elsa Spath, please .
I have a neighbour's long , six-feet high cement block wall on the full side
of the sun's sweep from daybreak to dusk throwing shadow. I have twenty
clematis on the opposite wall doing well.
If a montana was there it would spill quite high over the wall and flower on
that side, don't you think?.
Any comments would help. Thank you.
Doug.

That's the sort of site where we've got ours. It's in a decent sized
pot and it gets no direct sunlight at all but there's clear air above
it so it's not exactly dark either. I'm no expert but it does ok. I
feed it a few times a year if I remember and cut it back in early
spring. It's got a couple of early flowers on at the moment but lots
of buds.

Bazz!
I think I'll put a couple of vertically-narrow trellises half-way between
the
wall and the adjacent path.
No overhanging problems then with neighbours.
Thanks, and good luck!.
Doug.
