Evergreen climberEvergreen climberToday OH is helping one of my sons put wire netting along his front garden railings, to keep litter out of his front drive. I did think about putting a montana clematis in a pot, to train along, but am wondering if it will look messy. Not going down the mile a minute route, but wonder if any gardeners have any advice. As above, the plant will have to be in a large pot.
Re: Evergreen climberMontana is another mile-a-minute once it gets established. Mine is on a garage wall so needs a firm hand to keep it out of the gutter. I think it would be OK on a fence if clipped back once or twice a year. If you leave it too long the way it grows and tangles you don't know if you are clipping something that half the plant comes from.

Re: Evergreen climberYou know, I couldn't remember whether mine has leaves in winter. According tothe RHS they are deciduous. The twigs would make quite a screen though.
