Good Morning, what a lovely sunny day!
I have just completed a patio with built in flower beds in the walls.
I have a large corner area which is about 2.5ft across and the same deep. Has anyone any ideas what sort of flowering shrub I could plant. It has trellis behind it.
However it only really gets the sun in the height of the summer and I do like big bold flowers and bright colours.
Many thanks. You are all such a helpful bunch !

Honeysuckle would thrive in that light condition, they produce a wonderful scent and lovely, large flowers, but I am not a fan of them as they are more straggly than bushy.
Clematis would tick all the boxes and I think looks more graceful than Honeysuckle. They tend not to bush out but to grow is columns, so I would plant a few plants to create the effect you are looking for.

As its a small space, what about a Fuchsia, like Madame Cornelissen. Or use it as a container for summer bedding if you want real brightness in summer - fuchsias, busy lizzies, begonias, pansies and lobelia do fine in shadier spots, and you could replace them with winter bedding as the season changes.

Climbing rose?
Clematis?
Passion flower?
Climbing Jamsine?
Honeysuckle?
Not sure what Positions the above need, but I named a few climbing shrubs with nice bold and bright flowers and nice scents.
