Vines that will grow in a container

Stephanotis?

I live in southern California. Is there such thing as dwarf white potato vine?

Not a dwarf per se, but growing in a container (depending on size of container) will work as dwarfing mechanism to a certain extent. But Solanum jasminoides can get big....REAL big!

The problem with a lot of flowering vines - other than annual vines - is they grow very big and produce massive root systems. And while they can certainly be grown in a container, they seldom reach the sizes they would inground and often need to be repotted frequently.

...... good thing you mentioned that, Pam - it's an important consideration. I meant to add that to maintain a perennial vine in a container requires the same type of attention as other woody material - attention to regular maintenance (pruning) of roots and regular snipping sessions with the top as well ........ but by the time I was done typing the offering above, it had slipped my mind entirely.

I grow Mandevilla, Confederate Jasmine and Allamanda vines in containers in Florida. Should work for you.

Just beautiful!!

hi

I grow almost all my vines in containers ,mostly to keep them in check.lol

I think the best way is is to remove the bottom and bury the pot depending on the habit of the vine of course. This method limits the horizontal while not limiting the vertical growth.

One notable exception has been stephanotis while it does grow and flower has never become a showstopper lol

Do you have the latin name for the white potato vine?? One of the Solanums?? gary
