Whats the difference between an annual and a perennial?
A. Annuals complete their life cycle in one year from seed to bloom to death. The life cycle of a perennial lasts for at least two years, although many bloom year after year, and still others retain foliage color throughout the year. Perennials make a good foundation to a garden, guaranteeing continuous foliage color and/or flower color. Seasonally fill in around the perennials with annuals to create a mood, a theme, or just for color.
