This category lists annual flowering plants, whose normal life-cycle is completed within a single growing season. It may also include perennials which are frequently cultivated as annuals for reasons of climate or aesthetics.
The plants listed may be ornamental, medicinal, and/or edible. Several of them bear edible fruit. Plants are selectively bred for phenotypic traits (such as flower colour) and other hereditary traits. When developing a new variety, a plant breeder might value such characteristics as appearance, disease resistance, and hardiness.
This is a list of plants organized by their common names. However, the common names of plants often vary from region to region, which is why most plant encyclopedias refer to plants using their scientific names, in other words using binomials or "Latin" names.

Annual plants complete their growing cycle in a year and die in the winter. What Are Annuals? As the name suggests, an annual is a plant that completes its entire life cycle within a calendar year.
Flowering plant bulbs are planted beneath the surface of the earth. The bulbs need some exposure to cold temperatures for 12 to 14 weeks in order to bloom.
