successful planting in containers

Thank you everyone for your help ...its still a dilemma because I was very keen on the contribution by David Feix of the callistemon citrinus of which my garden centre had some excellent strong specimens of the variety Callistemon vinimalis 'Kings Park'.  But I was told it would not do well in containers as it is a slow grower,  needed huge amounts of water and becomes very leggy!!! Is this true?? She said that Photinia would probably be best for my situation. I don't trust garden centres here in Spain as they don't always give honest advice.  The Hakea looks wonderful but its not available here .
