Planting perennial and annual seeds together? (lemmy.world)

I would like to get plots started with perennial flower seeds. However, it seems like the weeds will overgrow the plots while the perennial seeds get started.

Could I mix perennial and annual flower seeds and have the annuals try and crowd out the weeds while the perennials take root and come back next year more strongly? Or will the annual seeds prevent the perennial seeds from growing?

Much depends on where you live. Annuals require more water than perennials, so it's not advisable where I live.
