Help - Virginia Creeper
 

I have tried on three occasions to grow Virginia Creeper up against a
wall of my house but each time the plant failed.
I planted each plant in good quality compost in a large tub - the last
plant did start to climb but then suddenly 'folded'.
Any ideas where I am going wrong

We have had ours a long time growing up the side of the garage.
Maybe yours fails because its in a tub. I don't believe it is
suitable for container growing. We hack ours back late in the year
or early Spring and it always comes back growing like mad although
the climbing hydrangea seems to be winning the battle for space.
Maybe that would be OK growing in a big tub.
