What is the difference between perennials and annuals?
A. Annuals add color and texture to landscape bed, patios, pots and outdoor living areas. Annual colors are typically more vibrant and intense than perennial colors making them a much sought after addition to the landscape. Annuals last for one year only. Typically, annuals die out after the first fall freeze, and cannot be planted until after the frost-free date, which is near May 10th. Perennials are plants that bloom year after year. Typically, perennials will go dormant after the fall freeze and begin to regenerate in the spring once the ground reaches an appropriate temperature.
