Perennials versus Annuals

While every flower has its own characteristics and advantages, you should know the difference between annual flowers and perennial flowers. Annual flowers are those that complete their lifecycle in just one growing season. This essentially means that the planting, growth, flowering, seeding, and dying of the flower will all occur within the same year. Annual flowers tend to bloom from spring until the first autumn frost, so now is the perfect time to plant them! Annuals are the more showy flowers, so they’re worth replanting each year.Perennial flowers are those that grow for three or more years. The clear favorite of the laidback gardener, most perennials tend to have a relatively short season of bloom. However, if you combine several species of perennials in your garden then you can have a variety of season-long color!
