What is the difference between perennials and annuals?

Perennial plants regrow every spring, while annual plants live for only one growing season, then die off. Perennials generally have a shorter blooming period compared to annuals, so it's common for gardeners to use a combination of both plants in their yard.

What plant comes back every year?

Simply put, annual plants die in the winter season. You must replant them every year. Perennials come back every year. You only plant them once.

How long do Perennial plants live?

The lifespan, bloom time, culture and form of perennial plants varies greatly. Some species, such as lupines and delphinium, are so called "short-lived" perennials, with a lifespan of just three or four years. Others may live as long as fifteen years, or even, in the case of peonies, a lifetime.
