I had thought that training Lantana to a fence might work, they are easy from seed. Keeping the trunks clear of vegetation and then nipping the tops with the hedge trimmer. Your could mix the colors for that fruit salad look. I have seen them turned into hedges. This would not work in most of the US, since they freeze back to ground in most places.

I wonder what you could do with one if you trained it up wires against a wall? It is a very flexible plant when the foliage is young. On a south facing wall you could probably get one to be a woody perennial in zone 9, maybe.
