Best plants / shrubs / trees to have potted in the garden

I'm just sorting out a new patio area in my garden as I want to move within the next year or so. I'm thinking about having some nice shrubs / plants etc in large pots to go on the patio so I can take these with me when I move.

The patio are in the garden gets the sun in summer around midday until about 3-4pm, so whatever plant / shrub I get needs to ideally be OK with this positioning.

I'm not a fabulous gardener, so I need something I can literally pop in a pot and leave be (aside from watering when necessary!).

Does anyone have any ideas for easy / good looking shrubs / plants? I was thinking about the pink Nectarine blossom tree thing (I saw it in the garden centre but can't remember the name!).

An olive tree would look gorgeous.

Agree that would look lovely, or some palms.
