Annual flowers

Many of our flower species were brought to Europe by plant collectors from the 17th century onwards. Initially they were grown for research in botanical gardens and from there often entered our gardens. Annual flowers are short-lived plants. In the year of sowing they flower, form seeds and die. With some species, sowing at different times can result in continuous flowering.
