What is the difference between annual and perennial plants?

Today in this blog we will discuss the differences between growing annual plants versus growing perennial plants.

 

Annual Plants:

 

Sunpatients, geraniums, and petunias are examples of annual plants in our garden, the angels’ garden; please call to check the availability. They are the perfect choice if you’re looking for a one-season growing plant because they die in cold weather. Annuals can be vibrant and tropical; usually, their blooms last more than perennials. They are a good option for those who don’t want a long-term commitment; they allow you to change your garden color yearly.

​

Perennial Plants:

Perennial plants cost more money than annual plants, but they are an investment because you will pay for them once and enjoy them for years. They are the perfect choice if you’re looking for a plant that lasts three years or more. They die in cold weather but return the following year. Hydrangeas, Daylilies, Hostas, Shasta Daisies, Coneflowers, Phlox paniculate, and Ornamental onion are just a few examples of popular perennials found in our garden, the angels’ garden; please call to check the availability.
