Hi, we are wondering if this vine will thrive in a pot. We are wanting it to cover a 7x2m pergola (we have 2 plants in pots)
Or do they need to be planted in the ground?
Many thanks for your advice.
Answer:
Hi Janet, No plant grown in a pot can grow over a pergola. They always need to be planted in the ground – no matter how far away the ground is. I hope this helps, Don.
