What is a good plant to have in a window planter box? I want something that is vine-y and drapes downward from the box. Boston Ivy?

Is the location sun or shade? Will the plant have to winter over, and if so, what is the zone there? Do you want blooms? How much watering and care do you want to provide?

I'm in middle Georgia. The plants would be facing South, so not too much shade. I'm not overly concerned with a flowering plant, I just want something in a plant that will create a verticle effect by hanging down from the planter.
