Trailing evergreen plants

I've just installed some window boxes and looking for some evergreen trailing plants to put in them so they looks green all year round and little maintenance. Mostly shady West facing spot. Any recommendations for which plants would work and look pretty? Thanks

variegated ivy?

Periwinkle is my fave, both variegated and non variegated varieties!

That asparagus fern stuff. Can’t remember the name. Ivy.

I wonder if Trachelospermum might work? It’s a climber if it has anything to climb up, but if it hasn’t it might trail - someone more knowledgeable might know about that.

Creeping Jenny (lysimachia). The chartreuse green really helps make other flowers pop and the little round leaves offer good contrast with other plants. It’s evergreen in my garden, some pots stay green throughout winter but others turn crimson red - very attractive. Very fast growing and easy to propagate - just pinch out a stem, plop it in a different pot and it will grow roots and multiply. I bought a little plug pack last summer and now have them in lots of pots. The new growth is already growing strong so they have a long season.
