What Is An Annual Plant?

An annual plant is a type of plant that completes its life cycle in one growing season. From seed germination to flowering, setting seed, and death, all these stages occur within a year. Annual plants are known for their ability to grow quickly and produce flowers and seeds in a short period. They are ideal for filling garden spaces with seasonal color and can be easily grown from seeds. Examples of annual plants include marigolds, zinnias, and petunias.
