A perennial plant is a plant that lives for two or more growing seasons (from several years to several centuries). It can be either herbaceous or woody. Some perennial plants can flower during their first year, while others live many years before reaching reproductive maturity. In temperate regions, aerial parts of herbaceous plants die back during winter; only underground perennating structures such as roots, rhizomes, bulbs or corms persist.
This photo shows various examples of these underground structures. |
