Perennial or Annual?

What is the difference between perennial and annual plants?  Perennials are plants that, with good care during the growing season,  re-grow in the garden year after year. Annuals are planted in the spring (in northern climates), die in the fall and new ones have to be planted the next spring.

Some examples of perennials that I have in my garden are: coreopsis, coneflower, daylily, iris, lobelia, phlox, hosta, hardy chrysanthemum, lupine....

Examples of annuals in my garden are: stock, cornflower, zinnia, petunia, gerbera daisy, impatiens ....
