Hi, Golddog. I just noticed this thread in the Annual forum and thought it was worth bumping back up. I think we've been neglecting this forum of late! Yes, we grow many half hardy perennials as annuals... in fact, we grow many hardy perennials as annuals.

For instance, I love hollyhocks, but they are biennial and don't winter over here. I've tried "Summer Carnival" that is supposed to bloom the first year, but not here! Finally, I found that the Malva sylvestris will bloom quite nicely here the first year, but don't winter over. They've become one of my favorite "annuals"!
