How are Annuals and Perennials Different?
Knowing what to plant in your garden can be a difficult decision for some. It helps when you have the information needed to know the difference in the plants. When you are choosing if you are needing annuals or perennials, the differences are:

These types of plants will only last the season that you plant them. They make great fillers for your landscaping and are vibrant bright blooms.

When you plant these they will continue to come back year after year. This is a big time and money saver.
