Perennials live for more than two years.
Annuals generally last for one growing season.
For longer bloom time, plant annuals flowers because they bloom longer.
Perennials tend to cost more than annuals but can save you money long term because you don't have to keep replanting them.
Mixing perennials and annuals creates an everblooming garden with lots of interest throughout the growing season.
If you are just starting out or want to experiment with plants, go with annuals because there is less of a committment.
