what vines to grow in pots?

Post by Mrs REhman »

I am planning to get some climbers and vines that can easily survive in pots and bear flowers of bright colors, and if they smell good, that would be an added bonus. Please guide me related to this issue and where to get some in ISBD...i live on the third floor and want to grow some in the balcony of my flat.
i already have money plant growing in one planter.

I have no experience of growing vines in pots but have planted Garlic vine and Sanacio vines in pots this year for the first time.
