What type of flower blooms year after year?
No, you want perrenials. Hollyhock, baby's breath, poppies, perrenial bachelor buttoms (mountain bluet), peonies, sweet williams, forget me nots, speedwell, beebalm...

Annuals have to be planted annually


Perennials come back every year


There usually some perennials in wild flower mixes.


Then there's the weird annual that drops a seed that survives the winter %26amp; comes back that way.


That's a really nice thing you're doing
Reply:Perennials are flowers which bloom year after year. Some spring flowers from bulb generally last only one or two years like most varieties of Tulips.





Below you will find a web site with a list of Perenial flowers. I hope this helps...

Reply:Almost any perennial flower will come back year after year (flowers are classified as “perennials” when their life cycle is more than two years). Annual flowers will die after one lifecycle, so you would need to replant them each year. I like Bleeding Hearts myself, but I have always purchased young plants and honestly don’t know if you can grow them from seeds?





What you are doing sounds very nice and I hope this was helpful. Good luck!
Reply:Wildflowers dont grow every year, you have to reseed every year. You need a bulb. Bulb flowers: daffadils, tulips, etc.

Reply:Anything perinneals is what you want, not annuals-they die after one year.





If they are coming back in the fall I would go with bulbs instead of seeds-day lillies are the best and easiest to grow. You plant them in the fall and they come up in the spring and don't take a lot of effort to grow, just water. With guys this may be best since many of them are not used to caring for plants. They also come in many different colors so you can get them yellow ones or a color that is close to the platoons heart.
Reply:perennials. Annuals blooms only one year.

annuals bloom only once.
Reply:no, it's perennials that grow year after year. Annuals only grow for one year. Try shasta daisies, black eyed susans. Goodluck
Reply:tulips...they would be beautiful and they are usually the first to bloom in the spring.
Reply:tulips....my dad ran them over with the lawnmower and they still grew back
