container size for planting ivy

rubberducky1888 · 2013-05-15 16:10:17

I was hoping to plant some Boston or Virginia creeper on the front of my house. The plan is to put them in containers to stop them becoming too pervasive. My question is what size container should be looking for to get an 8/10 ft spread pair plant? Thanks

I have a virginia creeper in a container the size of an oil drum, and it is making almost no progress at all, after about 10 years.

Mine took about 10 years to establish but it's in full soil. Be careful what you wish for. Mine is now growing at an alarming pace and is overwhelming the shed. I think the past few years' weather might have held them back.
