The term annual refers to those garden flowers that complete their life cycle in one growing season. This means the seed is planted in the spring, the plants grow, flower, set seed, and then die usually after the frosts in the fall. Annuals can also be classified based upon their tolerance to and ability to withstand cold. Understanding how annuals are classified based on their tolerance to cold temperatures can be very useful in extending the gardening season.
