Can I Pot Wisteria

Question

Can I grow Wisteria in a pot? I have a bench with a wooden arch trellis over it and would like to plant something in a pot on either side. I would like a creeper that flowers and grows fast. I have tried Diplodenia and they did not grow more than a couple of inches in a year. I am in South Africa in the Western Cape, which has winter rainfall.

Answer 1

Wisteria normally do not make good container plants because they grow too big and too fast. but, that being said, if you use a large enough tub, the vine should be ok in a container. Also, I would make certain that the trellis is going to be sturdy enough to hold its weight as the vine grows larger.
