What is a perennial, and how is it different from an annual? This is a common question for new gardeners. Perennials are plants that you only have to plant once, and they grow back year after year with more growth, while annuals die off at the end of the growing season and require replanting each spring. An annual flower blooms with a fragrant smell throughout the entire season, and a perennial plant produces flowers during a short period while putting more energy into the root system for next year’s regrowth. Before you plant perennials, it’s a good idea to learn as much information about your particular plant before growing it in your yard.
Learn how to pick the ideal plant for your hardiness zone and plant perennials with the right growing conditions. Learn which ones are suitable for growing in a container or hanging basket and which types are better for growing in a large garden setting. Find out which perennials bloom and those that are easy to grow from seeds. Discover plant care tips and how to draw hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees to pollinate your flowers.
