Plants to overhang a wall

I'm looking for a plant to overhang a wall, preferably one that bees and butterflies like. Do you have any suggestions?

I have a trailing Rosemary. Lovely blue flowers :)

Have a google image search for 'trailing plants' and see what takes your fancy. It really depends a lot what habit you want it to have (whether you want something very neat, or whether you want a big ole rambly beast). It also depends a bit what soil/aspect you have.

Thanks all. I got some periwinkle and a thing with purple flowers that everyone seems to have here (no idea of the name, found it at the garden centre). I also have some Rosemary, planted some nasturtium seeds and also some aubrietia (I think).

I think your purple flower is aubrietia. Was going to suggest that. It's lovely!

There are some small trailing campanulas I think which are good too.
