Petunias as perennials?
Doesn't take much of a little petunia plant to make a big one. They didn't perform like the Wave purple either, but I thought I would experiment and see - half the fun of gardening anyway I've concluded that as inexpensive as annuals are for the huge mass of color; I'd rather get the known effect of the hybrid and get predictable results that make my neighbors say "Wow, I had no idea your garden was so colorful from what I can see across the road".
Is this a perennial ?
Many plants can be annuals in some parts of the country and perennials in other parts, especially areas that don't have terribly cold winters. They were definitely annuals here but since they aren't expensive and typical perennials don't bloom all summer, I didn't find it a burden since I was rewarded with lovely lavender blooms until frost.
Perennials
I live in the southeast and have to be honest...the garden centers in this area do not take advantage of presenting new introductions to the customer. If they have new introductions are available, they are mixed in with all the same varieties that have been around for years.

Flowers, Perennials
Perennials are the backbone of the flower garden. Unlike annuals, which need to be replaced each year, perennials go dormant over the winter and emerge again in spring. Because they need to store up energy to return and bloom again, most perennials have shorter blooming seasons than annuals.

Controlling Perennial Weeds
Fortunately for those with less persistence, there are two herbicides on the market that are effective against virtually all perennial weeds. These salts are absorbed through the plant's leaves and then move to the plant's root system, where they block the production of proteins.

Choosing Perennial Rye
Unlike Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue seedlings which need several winter months to mature before they are able to withstand summer heat, spring planted perennial ryegrass seedlings develop roots quickly enough to survive northern summers.

Annuals & Perennials - UF/IFAS Extension: Solutions for Your Life
Some plants need to be replanted every year, while others keep coming back if properly cared for. Planting both types in your yard can reduce the amount of plants you'll need to replace each year.

MYKEŽ for Annuals and Perennials
The product should be placed as close to the roots or the root zone as you can so the roots can be colonized by the fungus in the product. As the roots grow, the mycorrhizae will develop and multiply along with those expanding roots.
