Obtaining healthy plants is definitely your first concern when deciding what to grow. Second, consider the aesthetic you wish to achieve for your landscape. Want some leafy greens? or a striking hue? Mixing annuals and perennials is a great way to provide year-round colour.
In your garden, combine annuals and perennials.
As the perennials bloom, you can maintain the colour of your garden by interplanting annual flowers with perennial species. For instance, annuals like calendula, zinnia, and marigold complement perennials like daylilies and coreopsis. As long as their needs align, you can occasionally even combine the two in a pot.
