*an annual plant is a plant that completes its ‘life cycle’ – from ‘germination’ to the ‘production’ of ‘seed’ – within one year*
(…and then dies)
.
Summer annuals germinate during spring or early summer and mature by autumn of the same year
.
Winter annuals germinate during the autumn and mature during the spring or summer of the following calendar year.
.
One seed-to-seed life cycle for an annual can occur in as little as a month in some species, though most last several months.
.
Oilseed rapa can go from seed-to-seed in about five weeks under a bank of fluorescent lamps.
.
This style of growing is often used in classrooms for education.
.
(many desert annuals are ‘thero-phytes’, because their seed-to-seed life cycle is only weeks and they spend most of the year as seeds to survive ‘dry conditions’)
