There are simply stated two types of flowering plants annuals and perennials. Annuals have a short life, less than a year and they bloom their heads off to be sure to make enough seeds for next years growth. Perennials, bloom once or twice a year using less energy in seed production and so come back year after year. In many cases, the line gets burred due to pants being hybridized and being planted outside of their normal location-country and climate.
The Villages regularly plant annuals and when they reach the end of their most attractive state, they remove them
What they are taking out now include marigolds. The plants cannot survive this cold. While they do produce seeds, they are hybrids so the seed will not produce the same flowers that you might expect.
