To be honest they will be happier planted in the ground if at all possible.

I agree with Moon grower....I tried keeping these jasmine in pots to grow up a trellis in a yard and they stayed spindly and had very weak growth and had few flowers. I then got fed up - and shoved them out into the open ground in the garden - and they thrived merrily! I rest my case!!

Not to mention that Jasmine nudiflorum has no discernable fragrance - you'd probably get away with the winter honeysuckle in a pot, as long as its large, though, since its not a climber, is really a shrub.

Mobee - growing plants is anything but 'simple' you really need to know how they need to be grown. Google a specific plant for info and god luck
