    Some clematis might work, such as montana or viticella. Not the large flowered type, they are better in the garden. If you do try a clematis then go for the biggest container you can fit there.  This only works for a maximum of about 3 years then they start to suffer. You will need to feed and water it well. I had one in a container by my front door and it worked for 3 years.

    I cant think of any perennials though.

    I would never put a montana in a pot....
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    If you want to “pretty up” walls have you considered wall baskets or hanging baskets? Lots of pretty annuals will grow in pots and can get quite tall. A combination would be very effective
