What is the difference between annuals, bi annuals, perennials?
Annuals bloom and live until the winter frosts, then die forever. If you let the bloom go to seed, the seeds will re sow themselves in the ground, producing new annuals the following year. Bi-annuals grow for two years, with the largest and most showiest bloom in the second year, and then die. Some bi-annuals (such as lupine) can reseed quite aggressively. Perennials return year after year, and do not need to be replanted. However, if you live in an area that doesn’t see winter freeze (such as southern California), certain plants like Geraniums, Jade plants, etc. that normally are considered annuals can live for many years.
