My brother asked my advice regarding a choice of clematis for placement in a "pot" with an attached vertical climbing support.

I asked him to send along a picture of his 'pot'.

Incredible don't you think?

And he is fortunate enough to have two of these obelisks which he plans to position on either side of the front entrance of their stone farm house.

He would like this clematis to be fast growing and very floriferous (which would have the frame covered as soon as possible into the growing season).

Right away I thought of Piilu but I would like to hear your suggestions based upon your successful experiences with a potted clematis. And importantly how to have it over-winter in the container.
