Annual. Plant every year.
But... you get a whole summers worth of flowering out of them. Life is full of trade-offs. Perennial versus annual is one of those. Perennials have the advantage of living from year to year.But in most cases they bloom for 2-4 weeks. Annuals are little flower power houses. From nearly the time they get their little roots in the ground until the end of the season, they have one thing on their list: Bloom, Bloom, Bloom!
Most folks will end up planting a combination of annuals and perennials and shrubs. The shrubs provide the backbone of the garden (Ironically as I write that I lay in bed recovering from backbone surgery.) Perennials offer a huge range of shapes, and forms, and features. Both the shrubs and perennials will return year after year to your garden. But the annuals figure their job is to up-stage the other plants. Making up for their typically smaller size by being showoffs in the color department.
