It saves you a lot of work as well. Plant once, have plants for years. My flower beds are nothing but perennials. Have been for the past 11 years, since we moved into our house.

This is the lesson I’m learning now- that gardening requires such patience and trust. It does seem overwhelming with the vast variety of plants/ flowers/ herbs/ etc, and each of their preferred care methods/maintenance. It’s hard to keep up with. But I’m learning.. and also letting nature do it’s thing. 🙂

One reason why annuals are actually great because many self-seed and manage to grow in unexpected, beautiful places. All along our greenhouse there are cornflowers and we didn't have to do any work for it.

Beat wishes from Oklahoma. Would be a blessing to visit u guys. My oldest son and his boyfriend love to grow flowers, but only have a small place on their patio of the apartment. My son will love ur videos. Will give him inspiration to have their own place and the room to grow flowers and a huge garden. Ur an inspiration to so many. Keep up the awesome job.

Perennials are nice but you don’t want a barren landscape during the winter months. The only exception is if you live in a warmer climate . Most bloom for about two months . If I lived in a snow belt I’d have more shrubs

I love perennials and I have a ton too, but there's no arguing that most perennials bloom for a short amount of time, then you can deadhead and either they will flower again next year or MAYBE once more at the end of the summer if you're lucky. So you really have to do a lot of planning to make sure you ALWAYS have something in bloom, or , you can just additionally plant annuals that will flower constantly until first frost. I love perennials but they serve different purposes. One is not "better" than the other.

How and when do I trim the hydrangea and gardenia? The gardenia is way too tall. When it blooms the limbs flop over from the weight. It's a mess. Help.

because annuals flower constantly until the first frost, and perennials only flower for a certain period of time, often only 2-3 weeks then have to be deadheaded and won't bloom again until next year, or at best they'll have a second flush of blooms later in the summer depending on species. But if I want a constant show of color from june to september, I need to plant annuals amongst my perennials.
