Designer alternative: perennial or annual flowers

All climbing flowers for the garden can be divided into two types:
  • annuals
  • perennial
Each of these types has its own advantages and disadvantages. Perennials are able to withstand harsh domestic winters. Annuals need to be planted anew every season, but the beauty and riotousness of their flowering justifies the effort.
Most peak flowering annual growth occurs in mid-summer, but these plants die with the arrival of the first frost. Perennial flowers are frost-resistant and not so capricious to care for.
