I think a lot depends on the size of the container and how much you are willing to do with it.

I have a helsing ★★★★★★★★ blue in a small pot right now, maybe a gallon? Probably smaller. Actually my tween potted it up this spring and that is where it has stayed. The main stem broke around that time and it has three growing off it now and flowering with one green fruit. We barely watered it and only had a couple fruit though, not sure if that's the water issue or the pot, but I would bet the water. It's inside now and my daughter plans on keeping it all winter in this pot.
