By definition, annuals are plants that live only one growing season. The variety of plants in this category is immense. Many gardeners gravitate to these types of plants because they allow flower plots to change from year to year. They also allow gardeners the opportunity to experiment with different combinations of plants– creating a wide array of color combinations and texture variations in their gardens. In the truest spirit of gardening, it is this kind of experimentation that brings gardening enthusiasts pure JOY!
