That Linda is a Rangoon Creeper. This size one becomes weather proof of sorts. Waiting for frost so that it becomes bare then I prune. No Susie, I have potters clay, white with a vein of black clay going through it. Need a hammer and chisel to make a pot shaped structure but once the plant is in, it makes its own way forward. We have a saying, dry clay is rock hard but wet clay behaves like fresh manure/Plasticine. The above photograph is only showing the vines going up but three of its vines are on my boundary wall as a security fence with a ferocious white rose going through it. To give it further tensile strength I have four Bougainvilleas and one yellow Gelsemium vines in there. Will post photographs in Spring when in full bloom.
