One of my favorites for hanging baskets is Calibrocha a/k/a Million Bells. They flower all summer. No deadheading necessary, so they are low maintenance.
Here it is in pink-

They also come in red, purple, white, yellow and various shades of pink.

How about some Torenia?
Here are 3 colors I had last year-

And how they looked in the pot in June. By the time summer was in full swing, you could barely see the pot.

There's always Verbena. You'll have to deadhead these.
This combo - purple & white would look nice, given your house colors-

Those are all so gorgeous! I think the Calibrocha would be perfect. Thanks so much for your suggestions.

Your Torenia and that pot look fantastic.

out of spite!
there you go again posting the gorgeous pictures of all your beautiful flowers! I was scrolling through the pictures being completely WOWED just like I was with the pics. of your EE's and then I looked up to see who the poster was and sure enough it was you! LOL! I have to ask about your Torenia. I'm trying it out in a mixed pot for the first time this year with spike plant and alternanthera. I chose the clown/lemon drop color and have since then have read that particular color doesn't always do so well. What was your experience with it?

Awww... Gee... Thanks for those kind words.

What is the clown/lemon drop? The spike plant or the alternanthera?
Actually, I don't recall if I have ever grown alternanthera.
The spike plant in the top of the torenia pot is a small variety. I stuck it in there as an afterthought.

I like million bells because they have the look of petunias (albeit smaller) without the sticky mess.
I have a love/hate relationship with petunias. They always WOW me in the nursery. I have finally gotten to the point where I can be WOWed -and not buy. LOL!

Every year I like to try something different. Last year I decided to create a wall of million bells. I have a stair-step plant shelf. I put 2 small window boxes and 7 small pots of MBs.
Here's how it looked in late May, when I first planted them:

Here's how they looked in August:

now that WOW's me!

great idea!

Clown/Lemon Drop is the yellow Torenia. It appears you had no trouble growing it but I've read that particular color can be troublesome.
Your M.B.'s are gorgeous too. They are beautiful right after being planted but amazing in August too.
I'm having a bit of trouble with a pot I just planted. It's the one with spike plant in the center which did GREAT for me last year in the same pot, but I wanted to try some different plants with it this year so I bought Purple Knight which is the alternanthera. It looks a lot like sweet potato vine, same dark purple and has a very similar growth habit. It's just what they had at my local nursery so I decided to go for it. But, I've completely lost one of the torenia already and two of the purple knight plants have some brown spotting on the leaves. We've had a lot of rain and I'm wondering if that might have anything to do with the spotting but also, I'm wondering if it has to do with my soil so I'm probably going to be buying yet ANOTHER bag of that this weekendand re-potting the whole thing. I tried mixing old soil with a little new and I'm having doubts about that working. I've always read how it shouldn't be done and that pots are supposed to be sterilized from year to year but frankly, I get tired of buying new soil every year and I guess I'm just impatient and want instant beauty without all the extra work. Oh well, just one more example of how cutting corners only ends up costing twice the money and twice the time. grrr. :-)
BTW, sure wish I could figure out how to attach pics. to my e-mails so you could get a visual on my feeble attempts! I'll keep trying.
