Coleus and Begonias each should work. Coleus are a bit more hardy. I have found Begonias to be temperamental, but probably because I over-watered them.

I'd recommend Supertunias. While regular petunias are nice, Supertunias don't require deadheading and they still come in a variety of colors. They sell quite a lot of them at the local plant nurseries in my area.
