What to plant in large pot

I've been kindly gifted a large 40x40 pot for the garden and have been wondering what to put in it, something hardy that will climb might be good as I plan on putting it next to a wall but other than that I'm really not sure.

Trachelospermum, star Jasmine might fit the bil, it’s a climber with a lovely fragrance.
you don’t say in which direction it will face, but I’ve got two large plot grown ones, one faces East and the other West.

I’ve got a star jasmine in a pot too, and it’s absolutely lovely, the scent at the moment is gorgeous. It took a year or two to get going, but now it’s going great guns. I put a short patio clematis in the pot too, this gives a bit more interest earlier in the year.

I have a massive hydrangea in a large pot. I just love it so much. I have started two more as it brings me such joy.

Great minds @Beebumble2! Aren’t they looking glorious at the moment?

They are indeed. The star Jasmine is still quite young, but the clematis is fab.
