Description

Annuals are plants which grow from seeds, attain maturity, flower, and produce seeds, all in one season, then die. They are different from perennials which grow and flower year after year, or biennials which grow vegetatively one year, flower the second season, then die. Some annuals appear to live over from year to year. Some hardy annuals may do this. These plants which seemingly persist in the garden from season to season self-sow and grow from seed which has wintered over in the soil. Some plants which are true perennials may be considered as annuals in our climate and be grown for one season. Some examples are pansy, Pinks, and hollyhock.
