The local football team has just won again and as this seems to be a novelty in the area, I thought about doing a fans garden - ie Black and Gold. The gold is really not a problem as marigolds, calendulas and rudbeckias etc are in gold tones, but the black is. I know that some pansies are black and they would work for early spring, but what about the summer? Ideally I am looking for annuals or first yr bloom perennials. Any suggestions?
Thank you

The first one that comes to Mind is Blackie and the newer varirties of sweet
potatoes. Black Pansies are great again in the autumn. Black Taro for accent.

Thank you,
