Trumpet Vine can it be contained in a big pot, instead of planting?

I bought some trumpet vine seeds, but have read in a gardening forum, of how agressive and invading they are. This makes me not want to plant them on the ground and have it to become a pest for me or my neighbors, so I was wondering if anyone knows if I plant them in a big pot with a trellis, will that be okay?


I bought them for my Butterfly and Hummingbird garden.


Thanks!

You know, it's not the roots that are the problem. The trailing vines scoot across the ground and root as they go. The problem is in that they like to sneak under siding and take things over. It's definitely worth a try to plant one in a pot, but you will need a very big pot like the size of a half barrel. You will also need to keep an eye on the trailing runners and either prune them off or train them onto a structure or fence. I personally don't like trumpet vines because they are messy looking, but I have two volunteers in my yard and the humming birds absolutely love them so I let them stay. Good luck and I hope it works out for you. Oh, trumpet vines thrive on neglect so you don't have to fuss over them at all. Just make sure you water it weekly and use minimal fertilizer or your vine will probably get out of control. Granted, my vines are in the ground, but I do nothing for them. I don't give them water or anything and they flourish even during drought. I think these things are next to impossible to kill once they've rooted.
Reply:Hi, no problem! Just make sure to add some perillite, and fertalize it. Bye
Reply:Yes indeed, very commonly done for patios and terraces. Just be sure they don't dry out too much and be sure to fertilize too. Fertilizer with a higher phosphorous content and not too much nitrogen will help geive more blooms. Like a diluted Miracle grow rose food.
