Appealing landscaping is key when you show a residence, since it makes the first feeling upon the possible buyer. Brightly colored flowers on annual plants create a nice addition to a home’s appearance, having been bred for their brightly colored flowers; annuals give a warm, cozy exterior. The spring and summer months are when they mature best and produce the most flowers. They make for a beautiful sight when sweet peas or morning glories are dressed over a fence. Annuals’ drawback is that they are, well, annual. Quickly after you’ve went through the difficulty of planting and caring for them, they will of course go to seed, and who needs a seedy looking residence. If you plan upon a rapid sale, annuals are a good plan, but if not, be ready to carry away the old dead plants and replace them with something more in keeping with the season. The dianthus or anemone that was attractive in the spring and summer will have to be replaced with pansies in the cooler months. Bulbs mature like annuals for a season, make huge showy flowers, and appear to wither in the fall, but grow back again in the spring, so they are a kind of “annual” that does not need repeated plantings each year.
With care, perennials might last for lots of years, but they don’t typically offer the color variations you can get with annuals, and the blossoms are rarely as large. Those that do have flashy blossoms do not have them all year round. Larger growth is one benefit of perennials, which simply have to be planted one time. A huge bush or tree in the front lawn can offer the sense of stability and durability. Striking color, naturally, is the trademark of several perennials. A wisteria vine is beautiful when it blossoms lavender in the summer and the creeper gives a warm air of durability growing above a door or roof. Some perennials, such as the jacaranda, flower lavender, although their budding season is no greater than that of annuals. Rose bushes last for many years and blossom in a lot of colors in the spring and summer. Several kinds also give off a lovely scent that can give a good feeling as well. Don’t disregard fruit trees. After their attractive flowers have faded they bestow fruit. The thought of going out to harvest fruit from their own tree is something buyers will enjoy.

Some species can meet the criteria as either annuals or perennials, depending upon the climate where they are cultivated. Your neighborhood nurseries can tell you which plants are annuals and which are perennials in your particular area. In California some plants considered annuals elsewhere grow as perennials.
Ideally, a blend of annuals and perennials can be the best solution. Vivid annuals such as nasturtiums, poppies or marigolds show up well alongside the green tones of privet hedges, box, junipers or climbing ivy. A ring of budding annuals such as petunias in various vivid colors is a traditional decoration surrounding a shade tree such as a maple, elm or sycamore. Planting all annuals surrounding the residence and decorating a veranda or terrace with potted annuals that can easily be taken away is another method. Suggestion on which annuals and perennials will work best for your residence can be provided by your local nurseries.
