Although annuals flower only once they are an essential part of the gardening year.
They germinate from seed into tender seedlings needing protection from the elements.
They are hardened off and planted out in borders, beds, pots, tubs, troughs, window boxes and hanging baskets.
They are so diverse in their height and spread, leaf shape, flowering times, colours and hues, there is something for everyone.
No garden can ever be without them. They will fill gaps in perennial and biennial beds and borders or make a wonderful colourful display if planted as summer and autumn flowering beds on their own.
Many can be used as cut flowers for pleasant indoor arrangements bringing the scent, of the outside garden indoors.
They will flower their socks off for just one season and then disappear forever. Some will hang on in sheltered spots for a couple of weeks longer. But they will eventually succumb to the frosts.
They are most gardener's favourite garden ( yard )plants, we just could not have a season without them.
Most annuals produce loads of seeds at the end of the season all in different forms of seedpods, just ready for you to collect.
So, all you have to do is simply collect them and sow them the following spring. These seeds are all for free!
Many also self seed profusely. At the end of the season they shed their ripe seeds and the following spring these seeds, if you leave them undisturbed, will usually germinate where they have fallen.
So, transplant these seedlings where you want them to grow, in the garden, pots, tubs, troughs wherever you want to add interest and colour. More plants all for free!
Propagating annual garden plants from seed or cuttings is quite easy, usually without too much fuss. And they are easy, normally trouble free, to grow on.
