I need ideas for something that will be happy in these small pots 15cm diameter but only 10 cm high
It’s a sunny sheltered patio

Do you want annuals or perennials?

I saw some sweet peas specifically for hanging baskets at the garden centre the other day which could work in a sunny spot.

Bacopa is pretty tough.

Sweet peas would not have enough compost and would dry out too quickly. Trailing Begonias, trailing petunias, trailing lobelia or trailing fuchsia.
In the compost I’d put some water retaining granules clay pots dry out quickly.

I'd put some nasturtium seeds in there for summer colour. If you want perennials, the pots are quite small. I think you could make quite a feature of it if you planted it up with a different sempervivum in each pot; not very trail-y though.

Hi
Thanks for all the ideas. I love nasturtiums but find they don’t do well in small pots, when I put them in a bed they go wild.

I’m not a fan of begonias or petunias, but could try some fuchsia lobelia. The pots are really quite small so I think some semperivens ( shallow roots? ) might work. Or herb? Thanks all

What about pretty ivies, with chives? Or maybe strawberries?

I'd be tempted to grow a climber up the main stem of the plant pot holder and put annuals in the pots.
