What would be an ideal plant to fill a rectagular ground pot? I want one that spills out & covers whole thing?

Question

I know nothing about gardening - hence asking on here. We have just moved in and have a rectagular heavy plant pot in our garden and want something to plant in it!

We want something that would grow quickly to fill the whole pot and like spill out (sorry i dont know the gardening term! and ideally look good through out the year.

Can anyone who knows about plants - help.
