A plant that grows from seed in spring, produces a flower and seed then dies all in the same year. An annual can be hardy like coriander (doesn’t mind frost) or tender like summer savory (will only grow after last frosts in spring) The hardy ones generally self-seed if planted in the ground.
Please note that not all herbs are available year round due to seasonality - you can also visit our currently available category, which has been filtered to view annual herb plants that are in season now.
