Maybe. It depends what kind of "annuals" you have. Some flowers are called annuals, when they are really semi-annuals, meaning that they will come back, or re-seed them selves for the next year if protected. Then again, some "annuals" are "periennals" in different zones. Try it anyway!

Wego gave you the best answer so far. We call "annuals" annuals because for most of us, these plants do not survive the winter outside. However, a good number of common garden annuals are actually perennials in their native environments. Geraniums can be brought in and grown as houseplants during the winter. I've done the same thing to petunias as have other people with great success. And yes, they can be planted outside again in the spring. I doubt very much that marigolds would like this type of treatment though.

By their very name, "annuals", means that once the plant is started from seed, blooms, and produces seeds, that is the end of it's life cycle. If you bring them in, provided they have enough light they will thrive, but with the shorter days of winter, they are not apt to do as well and you probably won't be able to use them the following year. "Perennials" are another story...

Annuals have a life cycle and it ends. You can try getting cuttings or seeds and rooting new plants. Don't toss the old ones, I would also trim then back and that could revitalize them. Annuals are annuals because of their life span...otherwise they would be perennials.

If you put them in a sunny place and water them regularly then they should be fine. They might go through a bit of shock when you first bring them in the house and loose some leaves but that is natural. Just keep tending to them as well as regular feeding and they well do well.

you sure can as long as you water and feed them any potted plants can survive into next spring if you bring them in.

it depends. most will not do well in a home environment.
some will. some would do all right in a greenhouse-
plant nursery environment and some simply have a
short lifespan.

wishing you good luck, but chances are you don't have enough light and humidity to keep them going......try it and see.
