Lilacs are not the same as Impatiens.

Lilacs are shrubs.

Various species of Impatiens are annuals, biennials or perennials.

The commonly grown Impatiens cultivars are tender perennials that bloom the
first year from seed and are grown as annuals.

If you don't water Impatiens, they will quickly wilt and die, you silly
goose.

If watering the plants is too much a chore for you, why not grow cactus
instead?

Are lilacs (impatiens) annuals or perennials?

Also, if an annual is not supposed to last more than 1 year (season), what
is
the point of planting and watering them if you are wasting your time?
