Attractive landscaping is key when you show off a house, since it makes the first sense upon the possible buyer. Planting annuals, bred for their bright, showy flowers, is a great way to give a residence a friendly appearance. Annuals are prone to mature the best during spring and summer months. Morning glories or sweet peas dressed over a fence make for a attractive sight and can be very inviting. The shortcoming of annuals is, well, their annularity. Soon after you’ve gone to the difficulty of planting and caring for them, they will of course go to seed, and who wants a seedy appearing house. Seriously, you might have to cart away old dead plants and trade them with new ones more in keeping with the season if a residence is not sold rapidly. As the climate grows cooler, summer dianthus or anemones could have to be replaced with pansies. Bulbs grow like annuals for a time, make big showy flowers, and appear to die in the fall, but grow back again in the spring, so they are a type of “annual” that does not require continual plantings each year.
Perennials do not typically bloom with big, bright blossoms as annuals do, but with care perennial plants can last for many years. Even for annuals that do have great flashy flowers, their blooming time is rarely longer than perennials. One advantage perennials do present is that they grow larger than annuals. An sense of constancy and permanence is striking when a great bush or tree is seen in the front yard. Some perennials, of course, can provide beautiful color when in bloom. For example wisteria vines growing above doors and fences giving a appearance of both beauty and stability. Several perennials, such as the jacaranda, bloom lavender, although their blooming season is no greater than that of annuals. Rose bushes are another perennial that come in a vast assortment of colors. Many varieties also give off a pleasant scent that can give a great feeling as well. Fruit trees are included in perennials also. The striking blossoms of the tree will ultimately mature into fruit. Going to pick fruits from one’s own tree is something we all enjoy.

If a plant is actually an annual or a perennial is partly a function of the climate. Your local nurseries can tell you which plants are annuals and which are perennials in your particular region. The same species could be thought to be an annual in colder climates and a perennial in California.
A mixture of annuals and perennials can be the best answer. A great backdrop for brilliant annuals such as nasturtiums, poppies or marigolds is provided by the green tones of privet, boxwood, or climbing ivy. Shade trees such as maple, elm or sycamore with rings of budding petunias make a classic arrangement. Planting all annuals around the house and adorning a veranda or patio with potted annuals that can simply be taken away is an additional technique. Your local nursery can give you many hints as to which annuals and perennials will go great with your residence.
