Oh my gosh...I have the perfect combo for your box that will be constantly damp and shady! Coleus (look for ones that do well in shade; it's a myth that they ALL do best in shade) for the back (any color, but dark ones would be the best contrast for what I'd do in the front: CHARTREUSE and PURPLE potato vine! They will both get HUGE, so leave room.

Be sure to place lots of gravel or rocks in the bottom for drainage.

This picture is of the coleus; these only got late afternoon sun.
