Are lilacs (impatiens) annuals or perennials?

They are 2 different plants and not the same.

Lilacs are shrubs, impatiens are annuals.


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?


Because you like the plants and find them attractive to look at?
Works for me anyway.
