Freesia, a perennial flowering plant grown from bulbs or corms, produces fragrant flowers in shades of red, blue, purple, white and yellow during the spring and early summer.
Common annuals are marigold, vinca, begonia, coleus, zinnia, impatiens, petunia, nasturtium and pentas. But climate plays a big role in determing an annual plant's lifecycle â some varieties of daisies, geranium, lantana, mandevilla, pansies and verbena are perennials in warm climates. few other plant types are often mistaken for true bulbs because they grow the same way.
