Good morning Dave. I grow a Clematis montana in mine. Its been in the chimney pot for several years now and is always stunning in the Spring. It faces east so is shaded mornings but gets any sun in the afternoon. Last year some dunnocks nested in it.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
I have grown the two later in a previous garden as free standing herbaceous perennials. I have Jan Fopma here, recovering in a pot after being rescued form drought in a border.

Jan Fopma is a small clematis with lightly perfumed bell flowers. It would need a little support framework to help it sit up and then trail down. https://clematisontheweb.org/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=3024
Integrifolia allba is another with white, scented flowers and has sturdier stems so would be a good form for your pot - https://clematisontheweb.org/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=221
Rosea is a pink form of the alba - https://clematisontheweb.org/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=230
