Annual plants complete their entire life cycle in a year or less. There are annuals for fall and winter, like pansies, and annuals for spring and summer, like impatiens. Annuals bloom continually during their lifecycle and should be fertilized every 8 to 12 weeks with a slow release fertilizer or every 7 to 10 days with water-soluble fertilizer.
