Growing clematis in a pot

I have a clematis growing in 30cm pot, but it only attains a height of around 1 metre, so not sure of how big your pot should be, sorry. 

Hosta or Weed?

Good weed supressant! Does well in shady part of garden, likes it moist. Enjoy! Good

 luck with your gardening!

Sorry - you have put 8x6 on your post, not had a good day. Agree that lavender, rosemary are good plants, both flower and are evergreen, as well as lavender bag ingredients for your craft day and rosemary for cooking!

Let me know if you want any more ideas.

Clematis sounds good. You can get evergreen ones, but mine didn't survive a frost (perhaps it wasn't big enough to survive - should have put fleece over it!) Jasmine will be pretty, haven't experience of climbing hydrangia - sorry. Also you can plant summer flowering bulbs to extend season of flowers. You don't give the measurements of raised bed, so a bit difficult to assess how much you could get into it. Always aim for quick growing plants to cover soil, chuck on a bit of bark chippings, then very little weeding is needed, plus I think it looks neater! Happy to help.

Then decide on flowers & plants - I always try to get plants that have a 'double life'. Plants that have differing shapes sizes of leaf, evergreens, variegated leaves if possible. Hope this helps.

Start with position; does it get full sun, partial sun or is it in shade. This will determine what to plant.

What's the weather like in your area?

After 'wall-to-wall rain, it's brightened up, so off to make the most of it while it lasts!
