So, what's the difference? Perennial plants regrow every spring, while annual plants live for only one growing season, then die off. Perennials generally have a shorter blooming period compared to annuals, so it's common for gardeners to use a combination of both plants in their yard.

How do you plant annual flowers?
Stick the trowel into soil, and pull the handle forward, creating a hole behind the blade. Slip the annual from its container and drop it into the hole, firming soil around the plant. This method works best with loose soil. Always water annuals after planting.
What flowers will come back every year?
Perennials come back every year, growing from roots that survive through the winter. Annuals complete their life cycle in just one growing season before dying and come back the next year only if they drop seeds that germinate in the spring.
What annual plants mean?
WHAT IS AN ANNUAL? True annuals are plants that germinate, flower, set seed, and die all in one season. Their ultimate goal is to reproduce themselves (set seed), which is good news for gardeners because most annuals will flower like mad until their mission is accomplished.
Do annual plants come back every year?
The short answer is that annuals don't come back, but perennials do. Plants that flower and die in one season are annuals—although many will drop seeds that you can collect (or leave) to grow new plants in the spring.

What is the life cycle of an annual plant?

What does annual grass mean?
Annual grass seeds are grass seeds with a lifecycle lasting not more than a year. This means that they grow from seed, they bloom, they produce seeds themselves, and they die eventually. It is important to note that all of these happens in the planting year. Annual plants have to be replanted each year.
