Perennial plant
A perennial plant is a type of plant that lives for more than two years. Unlike annuals, which complete their lifecycle in one season, perennials can grow back each year from their root systems, often flowering and producing seeds annually. Examples include trees, shrubs, and many flowering plants like peonies and lavender. They tend to develop a strong, durable root system that helps them survive winter conditions and other environmental stresses. Perennials are valued in gardens for their longevity and low maintenance, providing consistent beauty and structure across multiple growing seasons.
