Annual plant

Peas are an annual plant.

An annual plant is a plant that completes its life cycle, from germination to the production of seeds, within one growing season, and then dies. Globally, 6% of all plant species and 15% of herbaceous plants (excluding trees and shrubs) are annuals.[1] The annual life cycle has independently emerged in over 120 different plant families throughout the entire angiosperm phylogeny.[2]
