Designing Dreams and Building Memories
Plants – Annuals, Perennials & Biennials
Annuals – Plants that perform their entire life cycle from seed to flower to seed within a single growing season. All roots, stems and leaves of the plant die annually. Only the dormant seed bridges the gap between one generation and the next.
Plants – Annuals, Perennials & Biennials Portfolio
Welcome to our Landscaping Portfolio Photo Gallery. A Sarros landscape will give you years of outdoor enjoyment and make you the envy of the neighborhood. From an elegant front-entry courtyard to a backyard entertainment area, Sarros Turf & Landscaping can transform your yard to the landscape of your dreams.
The Residential “Design/Build” process means that we not only install your landscape, we also design it. Our process begins with a Design Consultation where one of our professionals will meet with you to capture your vision of the outdoor space.

Perennials
Plants that persist for many growing seasons. Generally the top portion of the plant dies back each winter and re-grows the following spring from the same root system (e.g. Purple Coneflower). Many perennial plants do keep their leaves year round and offer attractive borders and groundcover (e.g. Tickseed, Shasta and Ox-Eyed Daisy). NOTE: WHEN STARTING PERENNIAL PLANTS FROM SEED, BLOOMS WILL BE OBSERVED IN EITHER THE SPRING OR SUMMER OF THE SECOND YEAR AND EACH YEAR THEREAFTER (e.g. Ox-Eyed Daisy planted in the spring of 2010 will not bloom until the spring of 2011).
Biennials
Plants which require two years to complete their life cycle. First season growth results in a small rosette of leaves near the soil surface. During the second season’s growth stem elongation, flowering and seed formation occur followed by the entire plant’s death.
Annual/Perennial
A plant can behave as an annual or a perennial depending on local climatic and geographic growing conditions. In the southern portion of the United States, these plants tend to grow much quicker than in the north due to the warmer weather and extended growing season. For example: a Black-Eyed Susan would behave as an annual if grown in Georgia; whereas, if grown in Ohio, a Black-Eyed Susan would behave as a perennial.
