Default Seeds to plant now for late summer ( Aug - Sept) flowering ?

Hi all. I've just unearthed some really nice pots dimensions approx 5
to 6 inches in depth and 15 inches in diameter and was wondering is it
too late to plant summer flowering annual seeds now ?
Alternatively, could someone kindly recommend something which
germinates quickly, is readily available would add a nice splash of
colour for late summer . I would prefer seed as opposed to bulb or
bedding ( a last resort as the plants on general sale show little
variety). Something along the lines of Calendula ( of which I have
plenty I hasten to add) would be perfect. I planted some seed but two
weeks ago and germination and subsequent growth has been very rapid !

Thanks again
