How about lobelia (favorite is Lilac Fountain) or even hanging fuscias. I
mostly use those in my windowboxes, as well as pansies which can get quite
leggy and trail. In part shade bacopa will work too. Creeping Charlie is
varigated and fine for a confined space.
For dwarf hosta, a darling one is Goldian Tiara, green with gold edges.
