Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one growing season. They grow from seeds, bloom, produce seeds, and die all within a year. This makes them popular choices for gardeners who want vibrant colors and quick results. Common examples of annuals include petunias, marigolds, and zinnias. These plants are often used in flower beds, containers, and hanging baskets to add beauty to outdoor spaces. Since they need to be replanted each year, gardeners can experiment with different varieties and colors each season. Annuals are a great way to keep gardens fresh and lively throughout the year.
