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
