Help still needed with planter at front of house

Hi all and good morning
Still struggling with how to brighten up the planting areas outside my house and stop them looking such a mess and forgotten

Have a planter that's around 4ft by 2ft that sits outside front window.

Want to have something like this in terms of a layout, but not sure what to plant in each position


1 2 3 2 3 2 1
4 4 4 4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5 5 5 5

1 = will be some form of flowering climber that will go up and around window
2 and 3 = flowering shrubs that would be 2 to 3 feet in height so can be seen from inside
4 = something flowering but not as tall as 2 and 3
5 = summer bedding plants and ground cover

Can anyone suggest anything ?



That's how it looks currently. A mess
Want to try and make it a planter full to brim of colour and that would cover as much of the summer months as possible

Ideally would like fragrant flowers. However aware that it's not the sunniest area, it's in shade for most of day

Would also like them hardy / returning year after year
Don't mind pruning etc

Had thought of Lavender for 4 but think the shade would hamper that

Thanks in advance.

Just a thought..........
A quick lasting fix.
Choisya ternata sundance a handsome evergreen rounded shrub with bright yellow glossy leaves,white flowers in May with a slight orange scent.
You decide how high and wide you want it by pruning.

Cheers.

All thoughts are welcome. Just want something to stand out and look neat and tidy and not let street down

Did consider mock orange at back but guess go too wild and stringy and large

May just go with fuchsias for the rear of the planter.
My parents have two at front of house which will be best part of FORTY years old this year !

Guess if went with fuchsias I'd not need them to be overly hardy as the wall / window gives good protection from frost
