Covering wall advice

Hi all

I just wanna ask you an advice
I need to cover a big wall in my garden and I wanna do it with a climber
it's the sunniest part of my garden but cannot grow it in the soil, I'm building two big vases about 60x60x60 cm

I thought to do it with ivy but I'd like something more "coloured"

many thanks

ps I live in Dublin city

I think clematis would be fine in a container, just don't let the roots dry out.

I wouldn't bother with ivy - how about a Wisteria or Virginia Creeper?

If your looking for rapid cover try the "Russian Vine" or as its commonly called "Mile a minute" Guaranteed to grow 15/20ft in the Ist year,produces White Flowers in Summer,downside is its Decidious but you could try planting Winter Climbers along-side and have colour all year round.Good luck.
