Annuals are a temporary, seasonal plant with a limited lifespan. Perennials live from year to year, or are more permanent. These sites will explain in greater detail.
My geraniums live year round! What may be annuals in some locations, are perennial in others. The trade off? My climate does not grow a bunch of really cool plants due to lack of humidity or the inferno heat in summer.
Annuals (marigolds, petunias, zinnias) need to be replanted every spring, perennials (dianthus, day lillies, hostas) come back up each spring without replanting.
The definitions apply if you leave your annuals outdoors but if you have in planters like my geraniums and impatients and bring them inside, with a little care they will live all year long
Annuals flower for entire season, Petunias for example, and u have to plant them every year. Perennials come back every year on their own, but only flower at certain times and usually only once in the season.
An annual lives it's life in one season like petunias. Perennials live indefinitely such as peonies, daylilies, clematis, black eyed susan, liatris etc.

Perennials come back on their own, but annuals are a yearly purchase. A good example of a annual is(my mom's favorite) the sunflower.
