Annuals
An annual plant is a plant that completes its life cycle, from germination to the production of seeds, within one growing season, and then dies. They are good for only one season of the year, but most add vibrant color to yards and gardens which is why they are valued among many gardeners. Most are inexpensive plants, making them a good option to add some seasonal color and variation.
Occasionally, some of these annuals actually return the following year due to our mild climate and winters.
