Do Annuals Reseed Themselves?

Although most annuals will reseed by themselves, some are more aggressive about sending out volunteers than others (depending on soil conditions, temperature, and precipitation). Seeds from these plants will spread far and wide and fill in all your garden's empty spaces.

Do annuals have to be replanted every year?

Simply put, annual plants die in the winter season. You must replant them every year.
