How can I tell if a plant is an Annual or Perennial?

Annuals and Perennials vary depending on where you live. If you want a perennial, shrub, or tree to survive and grow year after year, the plant must tolerate year-round conditions in your area, such as the lowest and highest temperatures and the amount of rainfall. If you are Zone 5 any plant that is Zone 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 would be a perennial in your area, anything zone 6, 7 8, 9 or 10 would be an annual. Certain areas of your yard could be hot spots and might be able to tolerate one zone higher.

Note: If the map that displays your zone appears inaccurate, you may be in a microclimate. Click here for a detailed explanation.

I love your annuals, last year I planted over 16 baskets and 5 large planters, and they were all beautiful. The flowers just kept coming. I have never received so many compliments. Can't wait for Spring so I can get started on this year's plantings. Thanks for offering wonderful annuals. Victoria, ID
