What to put in a hanging basket now?

About to put house on the market and want to make garden look presentable.
Our hanging basket doesn't get a lot of sunlight and I'm trying to work out what I could put in it at this time of year. I know there's always spring bulbs, but I guess the flowers mightn't last too long. So, ideally something with a bit of colour which will look good for as long as poss.
Any suggestions gratefully received - I'm a bit of a gardening numpty.

Just bought a new house with the help of this site!

How about ever green's like Ivy, you can get verigated one's and they don't seem to mind the shade.£71.93/ £180.000

Polyanthus especially as you say it doesn't get much sun, with ivy as well if you want something trailing.0

I'd put fake ones in lol0

You might find violas continue for a decent while, if you can find any at a garden centre.0

Polyanthus, Primroses or Pansies/ violas. Euonymus in the centre and ivy to hang down sides. All perfectly shade tolerant and hardy. Pansies/ violas will flower longer than primroses. (as long as you keep them watered, fed & deadhead frequently)
Any good Garden centre will have all these plants in stock.0
