annuals

One-season garden plants

Annuals are plants that complete their entire life cycle in one growing season—germinating, flowering, setting seed, and dying within a year: Petunias and marigolds are popular annuals.

The term extends to publications issued once a year, such as yearbooks or annual reports: The company's annual just came out.

As an adjective, annual means occurring yearly: annual checkup, annual subscription.
