With that kind of rule of thumb, I think you would not be able to grow wisteria, even native wisteria. But you might be able to grow some species clematis. Try the forums aimed at northern gardening at GardenWeb, and also the forum at northscaping.com. The forum at awaytogarden.com is not specifically for northern climates, but have the type of passionate gardener who would try to grow clematis in pots in Vermont. Hi, Shirley–

It would be great climbing on the pergola but is it an effort in futility? Where could I find hardiness info on planting wisteria or clematis in pots on a second floor deck in southwest VT?

I just wanted to send out a heads up that this cool weather is good news for the lilacs at Shelburne Museum. We have 400 lilacs in 90 varieties. Last weekend we celebrated Lilac and Gardening Sunday to record crowds. This cool weather is holding our peak blooms and saving them for another spectacular weekend. Come see us!
