Which direction does your wall face - is it in sun, shade or half and half? And is it in a sheltered position or fully exposed? Sorry to ask all these questions but it will help members on here to give you a better answer

virginia creeper perhaps quite rapid,hardy and beautifull in autum. i guess you can grow anything in a pot as long as its a big enough one.all plants at garden centres including trees are in pots.

Honeysuckle is suitable for a shady wall but you will need to put up something for it to twine around. The other alternative is euonymus, which are evergreen shrubs, but which cling to a vertical surface in the same way as ivy (but not so tenaciously). Silver Queen and Emerald Gaiety are two good ones
