It does look nice but I have wondered why they plant annuals that die and need replacing rather than those that will come up every year or low growing flowering plants that do not need to be replanted again and again. I would think labor wise it would cost more. Some of the yards that are really beautiful have low flowering plants that seem to be perennials. Mexican sage and cornflowers come to mind. Can you tell I am not a gardener.
