Eupatorium are wonderful for bees etc. but I have no idea how they fare
in troughs. I think they might be too big for growing in those
conditions.


The scrophularia was covered in bees last year, not brilliantly
attractive but obviously an insect attractant


Try rosemary, hyssop, savory, marjoram and thyme, as well. Useful,
decorative, and popular with bees.
