Beautiful landscape designs is key when you show a house, since it makes the first sense upon the possible buyer. One way of giving a welcoming, cozy look to a front yard is by planting annuals, bred for their vividly colored blossoms. The spring and summer months are when they grow best and produce the most flowers. For a friendly, homey sight, a fence draped with sweet peas or morning glories in blossom works well. The shortcoming of annuals is, well, their annularity. Going to seed after all your planting and nurturing is a less charming characteristic of annuals, since, after all, who wants a seedy home? Seriously, you could have to lug away old dead plants and trade them with new ones more in keeping with the season if a house is not sold rapidly. Cooler climates will need changing anemones and dianthus that were blooming in spring and summer with pansies. Bulbs grow like annuals for a period, make big flashy blossoms, and seem to shrivel in the fall, but grow back again in the spring, so they are a variety of “annual” that does not necessitate continual plantings each year.
With care, perennials can last for several years, but they don’t typically offer the color variations you can get with annuals, and the blossoms are rarely as big. Those that do have showy blossoms do not have them all year round. The rewards of perennials are that you simply have to plant them one time, and they grow large. A large tree or bush in the front lawn gives the sense of constancy and permanence. Several perennials, naturally, do blossom with brilliant colors and blossoms. A wisteria vine is beautiful when it flowers lavender in the summer and the creeper gives a warm air of durability growing on top of a door or roof. Jacarandas too flower lavender. If rose are planted, you can select a range of colors that will really enhance your garden’s attractiveness. Several varieties also give off a agreeable aroma that can give a great feeling as well. Fruit trees are included in perennials as well. The striking blossoms of the tree will ultimately mature into fruit. Who does not enjoy going out to pick his or her own fresh fruits straight from the tree?

When it comes to annuals and perennials, there are not always constant rules as to which is which. So confirm with nurseries in your area as to what is considered an annual or a perennial. In California several plants thought to be annuals elsewhere grow as perennials.
A combination of annuals and perennials can be the best answer. A good backdrop for vivid annuals such as nasturtiums, poppies or marigolds is provided by the green tones of privet, boxwood, or climbing ivy. A circle of annuals such as petunias at the foot of a shade tree such as maple, elm or sycamore makes a good, traditional mixture. Planting all annuals around the residence and adorning a veranda or patio with potted annuals that can easily be removed is another method. For more inspiration as to which annuals and perennials will go well with your residence, check with your local nursery.
