Here's the text from my posting in Perennials. I meant to put it here because the plants that I have found to work might not make it in most of the country, so it's more of regional interest.

I have been trying to make a garden with hot colors - especially orange. I also added yellow and orangey red and some dark leaves and blue (or blue with purple tint) for contrast. It's been a challenge. Most of the orange plants that I have tried haven't come back after the winters and blue is really hard to come by. This year, I finally have gotten some plants that made it back, so I had to share.

If you look closely, you can see a couple of volunteer Echinaceas that are pink/magenta. I'll be pulling them out, but I waited until they bloomed in case the color would be orange.
