i avoid annuals for the most part. for one thing, i have a brown thumb. for another, i don't want to invest a lot of money and effort on something i know is going to die.
i gamble on perennials. the odds of success are a little better.

try a tour of your area. take note of plants growing in vacant lots, around houses that have been sitting empty for a while, and in similar spots. those are likely to survive in any garden since they obviously require no personal attention to thrive. don't overlook weeds, either. some of them are quite pretty. (i don't call them weeds. i call them free plants. LOL)
