Hi:

I purchased some outside annuals in a hanging basket. I was told
they will only make it through the summer season.

I was wondering if they were brought indoors if they could survive
over the year or even multiple years.


Is this possible and if so, how.


Any help is appreciated.


Thanks

Ali

What part of annual don't you understand?


No, you never flame.

Someone asked a simple question and got several thoughtful responses.

What part of polite don't you understand?

The responses might have been "thoughtful" but didn't cut to the core
issue.
As Travis pointed out, "annual" has a specific meaning. Now, I know that
some things are sold as "annuals" that might be perennial in a tropical
climate. However, the OP used the term "annual" and that means the plant
completes its lifecycle in a year or less. Since the subject line asked
if
annuals will survive for more than one year, a concise and thoughtful
answer
would have been "NO."



The OP used the word "annuals" simply to identify a broad category of
plants. While it is always a pleasure to notice someone (like you) who can
define a word in such a scholarly and informative fashion, your explanation
does not address the OP's question, nor does it reflect the actual
experiences of lots of people who, in fact, have kept so-called annuals
alive (and thriving) indoors during the winter.

Now, if we can persuade him to identify the plants, perhaps we can offer
some advice before this turns into a discussion of Vietnam or abortion or
other crap. :-)
