Plants and Beyond for Hard to Find Annual Plants and Flowers
Botanically, an annual plant
is a plant that usually germinates, flowers and dies in one year. True annuals
will only live longer than a year if they are prevented from setting seed. Some
seedless plants can also be considered annuals even though they do not flower.
In gardening, annual often
refers to a plant grown outdoors in the spring and summer and surviving just for
one growing season. Many food plants are, or are grown as, annuals, including
most domesticated grains. Some perennials and biennials are grown in gardens as
annuals for convenience, particularly if they are not considered cold hardy for
the local climate. Carrot, celery and parsley are true biennials that are
usually grown as annual crops for their edible roots, petioles and leaves,
respectively. Tomato, sweet potato and bell pepper are tender perennials usually
grown as annual
