Can You Plant Cordylines In Border Inside A Pot ?

Hi there. I have recently built a raised border around my garden and was wondering if it is possible to plant a cordyline in a large pot and then sink the pot in a raised border so that the pot is not visible. Reason I ask is that the border runs alongside a wall and I do not want the cordylines to over grow or bush out. The pot would be buried just below the top of the border.

It's a good question, since these plants grow a pretty massive root ball. If you plan to leave the pot in place for an extended period, I imagine the roots will eventually break through or, if the pot is too strong, the plant may become too rootbound over time.
