Two Choices, Should You Plant Perennials Or Annuals?

Showing off the front yard to its greatest advantage will make a great first impression when you show a house

. One nice addition to a home's exterior is a flowerbed of annual plants, because annuals are bred for their brightly colored flowers. Annuals are prone to mature the best during spring and summer months. A fence covered with sweet peas or morning glories in flower is relaxing and welcoming. Of course annuals are, well, annual, and that can be a shortcoming. Going to seed after all your planting and caring is a less attractive characteristic of annuals, since, after all, who wants a seedy house? If you plan upon a speedy sale, annuals are a good idea, but if not, be ready to lug away the old dead plants and swap them with something more in keeping with the season. Pansies might have to be replaced the summer dianthus or anemones as the climate grows cooler. Like annuals, bulbs grow for a season, make big showy blossoms, and seem to wither in the fall, but mature back in the spring, making them a kind of "annual" that will not necessitate continual plantings each year.

Perennials do not typically bloom with great, bright flowers as annuals do, but with care perennial plants might last for several years. The ones that do have great flowers do not have them the whole year round. Larger growth is one benefit of perennials, which merely have to be planted once. Big bushes and trees give an appearance of stability and sturdiness. With this being said, several perennials can provide rich atmosphere as well. A wisteria creeper can blend beauty with stability when it grows above a door or roof with its lavender blossoms. Jacaranda is another tree that blooms in color. If rose are planted, you can choose a assortment of colors that will really improve your garden's appeal. Many varieties also give off a agreeable scent that can give a great impression as well. Fruit trees are included in perennials too. The striking blossoms of the tree will ultimately grow into fruit. Going to harvest fruits from one's own tree is something we all enjoy.

The climate often determines if a given species is truly a perennial or an annual. Your neighborhood nurseries can tell you which plants are annuals and which are perennials in your particular region. In California several plants considered annuals elsewhere grow as perennials.

Combining annuals and perennials is perhaps the best landscaping plan. Nasturtiums, poppies and marigolds stand out well alongside the greens of privet, boxwood or climbing ivy. A ring of flowering annuals such as petunias in a variety of brilliant shades is a classic decoration surrounding a shade tree such as a maple, elm or sycamore. Pots of annuals, bright decorations, can simply be taken away from a courtyard or balcony when they shrivel. Advice on which annuals and perennials will work best for your house can be provided by your local nurseries.
