I love growing in pots even though it is an absolute bind in the summer!
I have lilies and dahlias in pots that do well, but do need a bit of attention - food, water, regular repotting and beetle hunting.
There are a couple of troughs with agapanthus which so far have thrived on neglect. But they don't look good/flower for long.
I have hostas in pots, tucked away in the shade - I've always loved them and they soften up the boundary between deck and walls, hide downpipes, that kind of thing. They seem to cope with only being repotted and divided every four or five years but do get a compost top up every year. They get slugged Sad but not as badly as ones n the ground.
I also have a flat bowl filled with sedums which are happy in the heat.
And hellebores do well in pots for me, too.

I'm hopeless at doing seasonal pots (I asked on here, got loads of suggestions and failed to do anything, again!) so rely mostly on perennials.
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?
