nonperennial
Dies after one season
Not lasting through multiple years or seasons.
In botany, nonperennial plants complete their life cycle within one or two growing seasons, unlike perennials that return year after year: The garden was filled with nonperennial flowers that needed replanting each spring.
The term applies beyond plants to anything that doesn't recur or persist indefinitely.
