Easy-to-grow Flowering Plants

Self-seeding Annuals: Annuals and perennials are preferred as easy-to-grow flowers. While annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in a single season, perennials last for two or more years. Perennial plants grow and bloom during spring and summer, and lay dormant during autumn and winter. As annuals die every year, you have to purchase new plants in the next year.
