Title: Re: [gwl-g] black and gold plants
Kate – Thompson and Morgan (WWW.thompson-morgan.com) has seeds for coleus s. ‘Palisandra.’ It’s nearly black  Also look for thier Garnations  ‘King of the Blacks.’ Black Mondo grass is another option. I understand there is also a new hybrid tea rose that is almost black in color. I don’t know the name offhand, but can get it for you if you are interested.

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
