Q1: How do annuals like poppies survive?

[Answer]

An annual grows up, makes seeds and dies in a single year.

Annuals are good at growing in open ground where they can get lots of sunshine.

They grow quickly and flower early. They then set seed and scatter their seeds far and wide.

While the seeds can survive over winter, the plant cannot. As the first frosts hit, the plant dies.
