@tl98466 I love clematis and have serveral plants. I don't think it will survive in my part of the country with out being planted into the ground.

@Mom2Dogs Clematis is a perennial for me here in NC, but unless it is modified to tolerate your climate, I doubt it would survive an Ohio winter. If in a pot, and sheltered inside a garage or greenhouse, it likely would survive your winter. I have two and cut them back in the fall. New sprouts come out in the spring. I have one blooming now that is absolutely gorgeous.

I also have asian jasmine. For me it is always green but can be invasive. It has a lovely white flower on it, although mine has not flowered for some time now.

Carolina jasmine has a yellow, bell-shaped flower in the spring, and it also can be invasive. I don't know how either of these jasmines would do in Ohio over the winter.

I bring my mandevillas into the garage over the winter here, and we have mild winters for the most part.

I suggest you visit a local flower or garden shop and ask them about a perennial vine. I have found that buying locally insures that the plants will grow well in my climate.

How about a clematis? They come in lots of colors Though designed to be planted in the ground, I've had one in a pot for a few years.

lol, I was going to suggest the same thing! I have a lovely purple clematis. It grows so lush and full, I had to cut it back some this past fall.

@cheriere @KLm I have several clematis plants but they will not survive the winter in a pot where I live . I am hoping to get to a nursery this weekend to see what I can find. thanks!

My clematis bloom and then I cut them back and they rebloom. I just love them!
