Hallson Gardens

Has anyone tried this? I just wonder if I am doing the pipe dream thing.

I don't have much more sun than a few feet at the ground level, but I have some up higher on the arbor over the new deck ( I must do some pics soon). But what I was thinking was I could put them in some hanging baskets and let them crawl over the arbor starting near the top. Is this feasible?. I have looked for pics, etc and I can't find anything but ones that are in the ground.

My thought is to get the annuals done for a few years until I can get all of the clematis done (am going to have to put those in pots, but I'll save for another post).

Oh yeah, it is fairly shady for a lot of the day as the deck\arbor in under a large pecan, but the sun finds its way thru here and there.

Anyone? As always, thanks for your help.

Not a good idea.

Leguminous plants in general have deep roots, so a deep pot is better. And I do believe they want full sun.

I have grown Dolichos lablab in a container, but it was a large, deep one in full sun on the patio.

I was afraid of that.

Thanks Viktoria

impatience, we did ours in a huge 15 gallon container last year and enjoyed them growing up a teepee trellis. This was the first year we did them so I was shocked it went so well.
