    I'm designing a trouble to integrate into my trellis; the plants I'm considering are:

    Bougainvillea
    Clematis Montana
    Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris.
    Loncera japponica

    The plants won't be directly bedded into the ground; the trellis I've designed will have a trough at the bottom, but I can't find any info on how deep I should make this container.

    Could someone advise please? Any links to sites I can use as a reference would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Will

    Hi, not sure where you are, but personally I wouldn't try growing any of those climbers in a container long term.

    The container would need to be very big if you intend grow those plants for any length of time.

    I guess you know the Bougainvillea is not hardy?:)
