Climber help please

I'm looking for a climber to go in a pot against a south east facing fence. It's in a spot near the corner of the house where the path goes down the side so it's a bit shady later on in the day. The pot is 50cm x 40cm deep. There is a honeysuckle in there now which isn't very happy so I'm going to move it but the lobelia in the pot has grown brilliantly.

Any ideas would be great please, preferably something with flowers on but I'm open to all options.

Thank you!

We have a climbing hydrangea with the lace cap type flowers which does well somewhere where it isn't always sunny.

Thank you, I'll check them out. Wondering if I might need a bigger pot too

I planted a honeysuckle in a bed against a fence and it grew and grew but never had more than one flower on it. After a couple of years I realised it wasn't in a sunny enough position. Your pot sounds big enough, but you do need to refresh the pot with a few inches of fresh compost every year and some feed in summer will help.
