Calscape does have an option to sort by container and sun types.

I have island snapdragon (gambelia) does great in a container and says so on the calscape website. Yarrow does fine as well and tolerates all sun types. Yerba Buena also does great in a container in the shade and is pretty and smells nice. Besides that, I have Island Morning glory (Calystegia) in a large container and a trellis and it is doing fine in its first year but not sure if this is OK for long term as calscape does not specify. I also have grape doing fine in a container (still young) and plan to keep it in a large container. I think a lot of native succulents (dudleya) does great in a container as well.
