My young neighbor asked me this as I worked to tidy up daffodil foliage this spring. She suggested that perennials would be less work as they would bloom all season.
I smiled and kept working. My irises would be blooming soon. Coreopsis and creeping phlox would follow.
I have a few annuals in my perennial bed to fill in blank spaces, but in different sections of my garden perennials start to bloom in February and go until frost.
