Annual, Perennial, Biennial?
Annuals - Plants that perform their entire life cycle from seed to flowerPerennials - Plants that persist for many growing seasons. Generally the top portion of the plant dies back each winter and regrows the following spring
Biennials - Plants which require two years to complete their life cycle.
First season growth results in a small rosette of leaves near the soil surface. During the second season's growth stem elongation, flowering and seed formation occur followed by the entire plant's death.Annual/Perennial - A plant can behave as an annual or a perennial depending on local climatic and geographic growing conditions. In the southern portion of the United States, these plants tend to grow much quicker than in the north due to the warmer weather and extended growing season. For example: a Black-Eyed Susan would behave as an annual if grown in Louisiana; whereas, if grown in Ohio, a Black-Eyed Susan would behave as a perennial.
