Shade Plants For Shallow Containers

I have 2 heavy planters by the door they are estimate 8 inch depth and 10 width. The sun is there is the morning which is not hot, and gone before 12. I am looking for something that will look pretty all summer and most of the autumn. My first thought were Hosta as they come in many colours. What do you think?

I was thinking begonias but hostas would work, too. You will only get one or two in each planter, though.
