Today we will talk about plant classified on the basis of there life.
Monsoon is on the way best time to design your garden.
Plants can be classified as either annual(one season), biennial(two season), or perennial(many years).Annual plants live for only one growing season, during which they produce seeds, then die. Familiar annual plants include zinnias, marigold and sunflowers. Biennial plants live for two growing seasons before setting seed and dying. The term perennial is reserved for plants that live for more than two years.
If you grow lots of annual flowers, to maintain beds on ground or pots: you purchase flower seedlings (or start your own by using your own seeds from last bloom), and plant them. You nurture them throughout the growing season, fertilize and water them; then, when the season's over and the plants die, you pull them out. Next year, the cycle begins a new.
So while designing your garden keep in mind you have good combination of annual and perennial flowers so that your garden is not empty from blooms.

Perennial plants remain in the ground year after year. Once established, many perennials need minimal upkeep in the form of watering and fertilizing, since their roots are more far-ranging than annual plants’ roots. Many perennials spread readily, filling out garden spaces and providing more and more color each year.
There are lots of perennials But some of my favorite Perennials are below :
Blanket flower (gaillardia) is a drought- and heat-tolerant perennial wildflower that provides long-lasting color in a sunny border with poor soil. In red, gold, or brown.It grows and spread very easily.
Asters blooms like star in late summer and autumn. Bloom colors include rich pinks, blues, purples, and ruby reds. They can soar to 5 feet, depending on the species, and are excellent for beds and borders in ground garden .You can use these beautiful cut flowers for room decoration also .
Coleus plants should be grown in the garden in bright, indirect light, or in partial shade. Many Coleus plants will survive full sun exposure but the foliage color is often enhanced when they are grown in the shade.Coleus are also quite striking when they are planted in a container and can be grown as houseplant. By removing the flower spikes as they develop, Coleus can be kept growing as a perennial for several seasons.
Hardy Hibiscus
Hibiscus are large shrubs or small trees on ground and can be planted in big pots and enjoy the blooms of huge, colourful, trumpet-shaped flowers over a long season. Other common names include Chinese Rose, Japanese Lantern, Rose of Sharon, and Tropical Hibiscus. Flowers may be up to 6 inches diameter, with colors ranging from yellow , peach ,orange,purple, red and many more with single double petals variety. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. All they ask for is a sunny spot with a potassium rich fertilizer, slightly moist soil.Be careful while watering in winter too much water will rot their roots.
Daffodils
Daffodils bulbs blooms in early, mid, or late spring, depending on the cultivator. that can be a different color.Colors include yellow, orange, white, red, and peach. Some are fragrant. Select high-quality daffodil bulbs that have not dried out. The larger the bulb, the better.Plant bulbs 1-½ to 5 times their own depth. Where winters are severe, make sure there is at least 3 inches of soil covering the bulb.Daffodils will tolerate some crowding but prefer to be spaced 3 to 6 inches apart.It may help to sprinkle a little bulb fertilizer in the hole during planting. Apply a low-nitrogen, high-potash fertilizer after flowering if bulbs are not performing.
Dianthus
Keep your pot in full sun and well-drained soil, preferably with neutral to alkaline soil pH. Dianthus won't tolerate wet soils, especially in winter.Plant in spring depending on the type. Water plants more during the summer . Stake tall varieties to keep them upright. Remove spent blooms to encourage re bloom.
