This shot is from 2010. The lantana did well but the zinnias didn't look very good.
Both earlier planter pics look quite nice; I think the planter would have been covered more if you had just added smaller or med size trailing type plants, not necessarily vines, to each pocket that was planted with an upright plant.
With a trailing or vine plant added, you could trim one part to be bushier on top but leave the other part of same plant to grow downward and partly help cover your pot. So your pruning of that plant would only be partial so as to shape the plant the direction you want it to go (half semi-bushy, half trailing).
