A plant that lives for one growing season, starting from a seed each year.
A plant that germinates, flowers, and sets seed during a single year or growing season. Compare perennial.
A plant that lives only one year or one growing season. Most crop plants, such as corn and peas, are annuals. While some annuals have very high biological productivity, annuals in general produce less than perennial plants. Related terms: solar capture
A plant that completes its life cycle and dies in 1 year or less.
a plant that will germinate, flower, and die within a single year or season
a plant which blooms only once, during its annual cycle
Plants that complete the cycle of germination, growth, reproduction, and death in one year (growing season). The species persists from year to year as seeds that can lie dormant for decades. This is a life-strategy for avoiding the heat of the desert summer and for avoiding drought. The seeds of annual plants are an important food source for desert rodents. Compare with Perennial Plant.
Plant that completes its life cycle within a single growing season
This is a plant which grows from seed, flowers and sets seed itself before dying, all within the space of one year.
Plant that has a lifespan of a year or less; e,g, cereal crops; typical raw material for pulping by the Chempolis process.
A plant that completes its life cycle within one year.
A plant completing its normal growth cycle in one year or less.
A plant living one year or less, usually planted in the spring after the last frost. During this time, the plant grows, blooms, produces seeds, and dies. Since they only grow one season, they are not zoned. They will grow anywhere the proper growing conditions exist. If you see a plant or seed in the catalog with a zone listed, it is safe to assume that it is a perennial or biennial.
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.
