Small and seasonal plants are often referred to as annuals, which complete their lifecycle within one growing season. These plants are typically smaller in size and bloom for a short period of time before completing their life cycle.
Annuals are plants that complete their life cycle in one year, biennials take two years to complete their life cycle, and perennials live for multiple years. When selecting plants for a garden, one can distinguish between them by considering how long they will live and how often they will bloom or produce fruit.
