thanks to every one who replied i have probably decided not to grow montana mayleen in a pot now will have to choose another any ideas which one is best for south facing wall ,preferably quick growing and how big pot needs to be
Look at the Hull website I gave you. It allows you to search on aspect, flowering time, colour, size and so on. Always choose the biggest pot you can for clematis as they have thick, fleshy roots that go down a long way and don't like to get warm.
All group 3s are quick growing after a spring prune and a good feed. There is cultivation and pruning info on that website too.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

i have a montana planted in an old plastic dustbin it is situated so that the bin is in shade, it has grown and flowered beautifully and covered my kitchen wall and is fukll of flowers. i feed it twice yearly with chicken pellets and it is thriving. just proves you can grow them in a container succesfully.
