Understanding Perennials and Annuals

Chris from Oak Street Garden Shop explains the difference between annual and perennial plants. Annuals are planted yearly and last one season, while perennials return each year. Examples of annuals include million bells and coleus, which may return if winters are mild. Perennials like daisies and echinacea have specific bloom times and require proper care for longevity. The video encourages viewers to visit the shop for more plant options.
