What Are Annual Flowers?
Annual flowers are blooms that complete their life cycle in just one growing season that typically runs from spring to fall. The life cycle of these gorgeous flowers begins with germination in spring, and ends with seed production in the fall.
After one growing season is completed, the annual flowers will die. However, the saved seeds can be planted in the ground when spring comes around again.
Before planting any flowers outside in your yard or garden, it is important to learn which annuals do well in your specific geographic region. Each region will have a growing zone that best nurtures the flowers.
When to Plant Annual Flowers in Pennsylvania
