Best trailling plants for containers

Hi, I have a couple of planters that sit on my fence and I would love to fill them with perennial plants with pretty flowers that would trail down the fence - any suggestions? I love bright colours, tropical looking or variegated leaves - the bolder the better Smile - any suggestions?

Thank you Laterthanyouthink that's a super suggestion - can add colour to my salads too!

Trailing geraniums - also do well if you forget to water them (I am guilty of this)

Petunias, busy lizzy, lobelia, trailing verbena. All very pretty. Can’t wait to get them all going for the summer! Especially petunias-my favourite. Smile
