What is a Perennial?

FAQ
A perennial is a plant that will live multiple growing seasons, unlike an annual which grows, sets seed, and dies all in one season. Their flowering time is not as long as an annual because the plant must take time out to gather enough strength to overwinter, but the range of flowering times, colors, heights, foliage color, and textures, make for a fascinating plant pallet to work with.

When do I plant my perennial bulbs?

FAQ
Plant them in September. Just a suggestion... It's nice to plant clusters of bulbs (3, 5, etc.), as you will get a better show in the Spring. Soil should be amended with peat moss. Heavy clay soil in the Winter holds water. This will make your bulbs rot. Just a suggestion... Don't plant your bulbs near your annuals, as too much watering will rot the bulbs.

What is the difference between an annual, biennial and a perennial?

FAQ's - Growing from seed
Annuals are plants that live for only a year. Some annuals such as most poppy varieties will re-seed giving the appearance of a perennial. A biennial will die in its second year after germination but some varieties do re-seed and hence behave like perennials. They may flower in both the first and second years, or in the second year only. Perennials are plants that live for three or more years.

What is an annual, perennial, and a biennial?

Main
A perennial is a plant or flower that lasts many seasons. These are more or less permanent plants in a garden. A biennial is a flowering plant that takes 2 years to complete its life cycle. In the first year it grows from seed to leafy plant. The second year, however, it flowers, re-seeds, and dies back like a perennial. It then repeats the 2 year cycle. In most nurseries, biennials are bought as annuals because the nursery has taken care of the first year of growing.

How can I tell if my plant is virused?

PAPHIOPEDILUM: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
You need to send a leaf sample to a laboratory that does plant virus testing, and even with testing you can only be reasonably sure it's okay for those viruses expressing epitopes the antibodies used in the assay were created against (assuming some sort of serologic assay is used, the most common type), or if it tests positive. The most commonly encountered viruses, and therefore those which are tested for most frequently, are CyMV, ORSV and BYMV.

Spring Q. What is the difference between an annual and a perennial?

Once they are planted you will same time and effort and will be rewarded with the flowers year after year.

Are the flowers annual flowers or perennial flowers?

Roll Out Flowers, Roll Out Gardens, Roll Out Grass.
For the most part, all the flowers are annuals. Meaning quicker germination and quicker blooms! There may be a few perennial varieties in some garden themes, but these are generally the one's our in house horticulturalist has hand selected that bloom in their first season and are too spectacular to leave out of our mixes. Annual flowers bloom in their first season that is why we use mostly all annuals.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wildflowers from Clyde Robi...
Clyde Robin. There's no such thing. If you want a long show you must plant several different kinds of perennials for a succession of blooms. You'll need to plan it so when one fades out, another comes into bloom.

Why are perennial pastures more profitable and sustainable than annual pastures?

Evergreen Farming, Western Australia - FAQ
Perennial pastures can be more profitable than annual pastures due to their ability to convert "out of season" rainfall into quality feed. This increases livestock production over the difficult summer and autumn period and reduces the need for costly supplementary feeding. Perennial pastures are more sustainable than annual pastures because of their deeper root system and permanent ground cover.

When it safe to plant annual flowers ?

F.A.Q.
It has always been and will always be, a guessing game as to the exact timing for planting of annuals. The old rule of thumb was "After the long weekend" in May. With climatic changes and new hybrids, this can be slightly sooner. However, we don't put our annuals out until mid-May. Pansies, of course, can be sooner. Tender Impatiens should even be slightly later.

How can I tell if my plant has bugs?

Orchid FAQ
Frequently, symptoms are more obvious than the insects them-selves. Your plant may show discoloration, wilting, pitted leaves, cobwebs, oozing sticky liquid, sooty mold on the leaves, and ants. Yes, ants frequently visit plants to eat the sweet liquid excreted by some insects (the ants themselves--except for some leaf-cutter species, do no harm to your orchids). If your plant does not look healthy the first thing to do is look for a bug. Hi this is Debbie from Northern CA.
